Max Jones was born and raised in Dallas TX. He’s a self-taught abstract artist whose artistic journey began in his early days and almost accidentally. As a gallery owner, he featured other people’s art and one day a publisher of a design magazine noticed an unfinished painting behind his studio where he painted as a hobby. The publisher commissioned a piece for herself that day and made an agreement with Jones that he would put a piece of his own work out in the gallery for sale. Jones obliged and managed to sell is art almost as soon as it was displayed. Jones has spent more than 10 years honing his style which is a calm otherworldly blending of colors inspired basically from nature. Using thin layers of acrylic, he paints to create a blended array of color.
He works by instinct, adding one layer upon the other layer until the final image comes out. His work is featured in many commercial and private collections throughout the United States. He lives and paints in Dallas, Texas. His paintings evoke a mood or feeling rather than to represent abstract imagery. His work can be seen in many commercial and residential spaces throughout the U.S. including The Vista Dallas in Victory Park, The Lofts at Mockingbird Station, and Park 17. His art has also been featured in many leading publications including Paper City, D Home, LUXE Interiors + Design, Texas Home & Living, and Patron. Looking at his art today, no one can notice that he’s self-taught.
