Jason Boyd Kinsella: The Shape of the Mind

Jason Boyd Kinsella doesn’t paint faces - he paints inner structures. His portraits, composed of geometric blocks and sharp lines, portray identity as a shifting sum of psychological traits. A former advertising creative, he left that world in 2019 to fully dedicate himself to art, driven by an expressive urgency that blends the influence of the Old Masters with modern introspection.
At the core of his practice is the idea of the “psychological portrait”: an attempt to capture a person’s inner truth beyond appearances. His figures are abstract yet emotionally precise, shaped more by feeling than resemblance. In Kinsella’s art, every personality takes on a visual form. Inspired by Rembrandt, Picasso, and Henry Moore alike, Kinsella also works in sculpture, where the viewer’s perspective becomes part of the piece. In painting, however, the dialogue remains intimate - a quiet exchange between artist and subject. His style, refined yet accessible, has resonated internationally. But for Kinsella, success isn’t a destination - it’s just another step in the journey into the unknown depths of the human psyche.
