About the Artist

I paint for your walls, not for the gallery floor.

My name is Jan O’Sullivan (JANo), and I am an abstract painter working out of my studio in Stillorgan, Dublin, Ireland. My artistic practice is entirely intuitive, focusing heavily on colour, raw texture, and visual balance.

With a background rooted in business analysis, technical writing and structured IT system design, I approach a blank canvas as both a creative release and a spatial puzzle. I don’t paint to replicate reality; I paint to capture energy and movement.

Vibrant Contemporary Art for the Modern Home

Jan O’Sullivan creates intuitive, texturally rich abstract and semi-figurative acrylic paintings designed to bring energy into your living space. Moving away from traditional landscapes, her work relies on a bold, expressive palette of rich jewel tones and striking metallic accents. Each unique piece uses heavy textures and layered palettes to capture emotion, light, and movement rather than precise realism. Intentionally crafted to complement contemporary interiors, O’Sullivan’s art acts as a sophisticated, dynamic centerpiece that elevates residential walls and breathes vibrant personality into corporate office spaces.

The ultimate compliment a collector can pay me is saying, “Your painting makes my room look incredible.” I closely follow architecture and contemporary interior design trends to ensure my large-scale acrylic canvases feel like a beautiful, bespoke piece of furniture tailored for modern, eclectic spaces.

My original works have been featured in premier showcase exhibitions across Ireland—including the Powerscourt Estate, Ranelagh Arts, and Walters Dun Laoghaire. Select original works are also logged on the international art index MutualArt to build secondary market value for my long-term investors.

My Journey

Irish abstract artist Jan O’Sullivan explains how she arrived at a rewarding career as an Abstract Artist…

I started painting to solve a problem. I wanted large original abstract art to help stage our house for sale. As I couldn’t find any affordable original Irish Art in our budget, I decided to try my hand at it, and then I was hooked on painting as a hobby. 

In turn, I sold my first painting to solve another problem – my new hobby was taking up space in my home and costing me money, so I sold my original abstract paintings as a way to fund my hobby. 

And in keeping with my flair for problem solving, I now paint to solve my customers problems – be it that they have a large space to define or a unique gift to give, or that special something that will give cohesion to their decor.
