John V. Eliason

John Eliason, known by his alias Isbjørn, is a visual artist who specializes in watercolor and digital media. He skillfully combines these two mediums to create pieces that are both expressive and precise. Drawing on years of personal exploration and creating art for his loved ones, John's work is characterized by a deep appreciation for color, texture, and narrative. Influenced early in life by his mother's painting, he developed an artistic perspective rooted in observation and subtlety, where significance can be found in the smallest details.

Through his studio, Afterdrop, John offers unlimited edition giclée prints of selected works, ensuring that each print captures the emotional tone and intricate detail of the original piece. Many of his creations begin as watercolors or mixed-media drawings before being digitally enhanced to enhance their expressive qualities. Instead of providing written narratives, John's artwork itself tells a story, encouraging viewers to interpret and connect with it on a personal level. The collection also features digitized pieces by John's mother, creating a dialogue between generations through art.

The studio's name, Afterdrop, and its emblem, the polar bear Isbjørn, symbolize resilience, reflection, and the quiet beauty found in transition. To bring this unique and meaningful artwork into your home or office space, consider purchasing one of John's prints. Each piece is crafted with care and attention to detail, making it a perfect addition to any decor.
