About

Joanna Beckett is a contemporary artist based in Los Angeles, known for her distinctive, textural approach to abstract painting. Her work is marked by an edgy yet lyrical sensibility, grounded in psychological depth and existential inquiry.

Originally from Poland, Joanna’s early fascination with visual abstraction became a lifelong thread. After earning a Doctorate in Psychology in the UK and working in the clinical field for over a decade, she returned to art - not as a diversion, but as a continuation. “Painting became another way to ask questions,” she says, “using a deeper and sensory language for what can’t always be verbalized.”

Her layered canvases reflect that pursuit. Built through glazing, scraping, and reapplying, each work offers a richly tactile surface that invites both visual and emotional engagement. “Texture becomes its own language,” she explains. “It draws you in - not just to look, but to feel.”

Titles also play a pivotal role in her process. “Like a final brushstroke, a title isn’t just descriptive - it distills the essence. It offers a window into the energy, the emotion, the moment I wanted to hold.”

Each painting is a quiet invitation: to pause, to notice, to connect. The viewer becomes part of the piece—completing the work through perception, memory, and emotion.
