What role does symbolism play in your creative process?<\/h4><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Symbolism plays a big role in my process. I enjoy creating a story or narrative in my paintings and symbolism is a tool for creating a mood or moment. It is a universal language but yet our personal experiences change the implications of an object or animal.<\/p><h4 style=\"font-weight: 400\">You mentioned that your art explores human relationships and connection. Can you share a personal experience that inspired one of your pieces?<\/h4><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Sound of Clementine is a piece I made about music. I am a drummer so I made this to incapsulate the feeling of playing in a band and creating or learning a song. Every person having their own weight in the project, choosing to work together to create something feels magical.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22816 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Room-2024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1050\" height=\"1322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Room-2024.png 1050w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Room-2024-238x300.png 238w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Room-2024-813x1024.png 813w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Room-2024-768x967.png 768w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Room-2024-600x755.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/> Jayden Fallis | Room | 2024<\/p><h4 style=\"font-weight: 400\">How do you choose the visual metaphors you use\u2014like food, limbs, or natural elements?<\/h4><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">My art usually starts off as a poem I have written or something I have read and the ideas sprout from there. I often write about memories or the relationship between my physical body and nature and how it nurtures me through food and many other ways.<\/p><h4 style=\"font-weight: 400\">Several of your works feature disjointed or floating body parts. What do these fragmented forms represent for you?<\/h4><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think it stems from me being indecisive. I struggled with changing my idea constantly and then I decided I did not have to finish painting the figure if I want to move on to something else. This resulted into a style a I really like, I think it resembles dimensions or a place between consciousness and unconsciousness.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22817 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Lunch-2025.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1050\" height=\"816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Lunch-2025.png 1050w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Lunch-2025-300x233.png 300w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Lunch-2025-1024x796.png 1024w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Lunch-2025-768x597.png 768w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Lunch-2025-600x466.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/> Jayden Fallis | Lunch | 2025<\/p><h4 style=\"font-weight: 400\">What does your painting process look like? Do you plan your compositions in detail or allow spontaneity?<\/h4><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most of my ideas for compositions come to me as I am falling asleep so I keep a book in my bed that I scribble in to then refine in the morning. Once I start painting though the composition usually changes, the more I look at it I think of new ideas.<\/p><h4 style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your work often balances tenderness with discomfort. Is this contrast intentional?<\/h4><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">It begun unconsciously but I have recently started to nurture that part of my art style. I enjoy the Alice in Wonderland type of energy that it has. Since a lot of my art is inspired by memories I think that contrast between tenderness and discomfort happens naturally in life, so it only makes sense that it translates onto the canvas.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22818 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Garden-2025.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1050\" height=\"1445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Garden-2025.png 1050w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Garden-2025-218x300.png 218w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Garden-2025-744x1024.png 744w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Garden-2025-768x1057.png 768w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jayden-Fallis-Garden-2025-600x826.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/> Jayden Fallis | Garden | 2025<\/p><h4 style=\"font-weight: 400\">Who are some artists or movements that influence your practice?<\/h4><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some visual artists that I love are Rae Klein and of course Frida Kahlo. Rae Klein balances space and detail so well, I admire her use of colour and texture really one of the best artists of our time. Frida Kahlo mastered surrealism in a way that I do not believe can be recreated, her art is so poetic which I aspire to obtain. As for writers who inspire me, Toni Morrison writes so beautifully and creates such complex stories that fascinate me.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year of birth: 2006 Where do you live: Winnipeg, Manitoba Your education: First year of BFA at the University of Manitoba Your discipline: Painting Instagram Jayden Fallis | Sound Of Citrus | 2024 Your work often includes symbolic and surreal elements.
