The power you feel

in the world around you

lives within you, too

My paintings strive to offer a moment of presence, a chance to return to yourself. They’re a reminder that there is wisdom in your bones, strength in your softness, and beauty in simply being here.

About the artist

Jen Kerins

I’m Jen, an Irish artist living in Basel, Switzerland.

My work is rooted in reflection, nature, and the quiet moments that shape how we see the world. My paintings invite stillness, contemplation, and reconnection with something deeper: a quiet inner power that often goes unnoticed in the rush of everyday life. My preferred medium is oil paint, which I sometimes complement with mixed media elements to enhance texture and detail.

Cathairín
€1,600.00

80 x 80cm. Original oil painting on gallery wrapped linen, ready to hang.

A piece for those who long for wonder, who sense that the world is layered with meaning, and who believe that beauty is a doorway to something more.In Irish tradition, a cathairín is no ordinary field, but a place where the veil between the everyday and the enchanted world is thin. These fields were said to hold the dwellings of the fair folk, where one might stumble into mystery without meaning to.This painting carries that same sense of crossing a threshold, where the quiet presence of animals, the glow of twilight, and the stillness of a summer meadow become more than they appear. It is an invitation to linger in the space between what is seen and what is felt, to remember that magic often hides in the gentlest corners of nature.
