About the Artwork
In Trust You Are Well, Jay Delnegro captures the awkward middle step in the creative process—the place where ideas are alive but not yet settled, where inspiration wrestles with second-guessing.
The figure twists in muddy tones, greys, and bursts of muted color, teeth clenched and hands tugging at clothes, embodying the jittery energy of uncertainty. Around it, a black coil snakes settling as both constraint and intrigue—like the mind’s own doodles tying knots just when clarity feels near.
Creativity is rarely neat, and sometimes the mess, the tension, and even the self-sabotage are part of the dance. Jay Delnegro reminds us that the struggle itself can be strangely generative, that wobble, that doubt, the second guessing are sometimes as central toward the final flourish.
Artist Bio
Jay Delnegro (Juron Travers) is a Baltimore-based multidisciplinary artist whose bold, mixed-media portraiture explores identity, memory, and cultural connection. Drawing from comics, 90s R&B, and Hip-Hop, Jay reimagines pop culture through a personal, socially reflective lens. His vivid, textured works center themes of love, safety, and nostalgia—inviting reflection on Black life and shared human experience. Through painting, podcasting, and storytelling, Jay creates emotionally charged spaces for connection, healing, and cultural conversation.
