'Remember'
Remember speaks volumes to the story of our imagination in one stand alone piece. Rendered in his signature monochromatic language, this quietly powerful painting is saturated in soft strawberry hues that give a dream-lit contrast between negative space and the subject. Jonah’s clean acrylic technique, surreal portraiture, and focused simplicity, give this piece a sense of inner stillness that feels both contemporary and timeless.

'Wonder'
In Wonder, nostalgia meets present awareness. The warm humor of pop culture imagery becomes a vessel for something deeper — the tender act of holding onto what delights you, knowing that attention is the birthplace of experience.

'House'
House explores the unseen structure we carry within — the assumptions, beliefs, and inner architecture that shape what we call reality. With bold color and layered symbolism, this piece reflects the idea that the “house” we inhabit is not made of brick and wood, but of thought, awareness, and self-concept.
Inspired by the belief that we live in the “state” we assume, the painting invites you to consider: what kind of house have you built for your mind? For your identity? For your future?
An original acrylic painting by Jonah Ballard, House stands as both shelter and mirror — a quiet testament to the power of the unseen world within.

'Strawberry Fish'
Strawberry Fish began with a creature out of place, or maybe exactly where it was always meant to be. The pink gives it softness, but also power. There’s movement in the stillness, and tension in the simplicity.
This piece is part of Jonah Ballard’s evolving visual language — where color is a mood, and each form feels like a symbol from a dream you half-remember. Strawberry Fish doesn’t explain itself. It just stays with you.
Painted in acrylic on canvas, this is a one-of-a-kind original in the Strawberry Series.

'Muhammad Ali'
Muhammad Ali is a portrait of resistance, instinct, and becoming. Jonah paints Ali not just as a man, but as a symbol of the rising — of moving upstream when the world pushes down. His face holds both grit and grace, floating in a surreal pink sea that softens the blow while sharpening the meaning.
Layered within is the journey of the salmon — king of the current, born to swim upstream. Against all odds, it arrives. As does Ali. This piece ties two stories into one current: the boxer and the fish. Flesh and spirit. Fight and flow.
Rendered in Jonah’s signature pinks, this original painting is both portrait and myth — a meditation on struggle, dignity, and the triumph of identity.

'Appointed Hour'
*Currently showing in Jackson Junge Gallery Chicago, IL*
Appointed Hour draws from the truth that “everything has its own appointed hour. It will ripen. It will flower. If it be long, wait — for it is sure, it will not be late.” Jonah Ballard’s original acrylic portrait holds this certainty in stillness, each stroke embodying the quiet trust that what is meant to be will arrive at exactly the right moment.

'Cayden- Ichthys'
Cayden Ichthys continues Jonah’s instantly recognizable visual identity with a vivid dialog between warm tonal extremes through this striking portrait. Rooted in the belief of imagination, this narrative triptych unfolds across three panels as a study in balance- realism against abstraction, movement against stillness, and detail against simplicity. The goldfish carry a graceful sense of motion, while the portrait employs a refined quality and confidence. Jonah’s restrained compositional clarity gives the work its unmistakable contemporary presence.
