Thank you for stopping by! 🪶

I'm Hollow Jay, a French + British shamanic artist. For the last 15 years, I've been cocreating with spirit allies to give form to artworks and songs. That unusual process has allowed me to build a cosmological framework for my existential explorations, helping me find a meaningful place in this world. Since 2026, the art is online, with many original drawings available for international purchase.

Visually, my craft can be described as visionary pop art, my inner child's spontaneous take on spiritual iconography. Musically, I write acoustic singer-songwriter ballads, dreamy folk that draws inspiration from wild nature, outer space, ancient and future myth. In my experience, art is a primordial language that reveals and informs the subconscious layers: a transformative process, just like drum journeying and meditation which I also enjoy practising!

Also known as Jimmy, a 36-year-old human being who grew up in southwestern France among oaks and pines; now living in Dordogne. Contact me at oak@hollowjay.art for any information – I'll happily answer you.

Major influences for my drawings, besides my shamanic practice, include visionary curandero Pablo Amaringo, street pop-artist Keith Haring and abstract pioneer Hilma af Klint. On the side of music, I could cite Radiohead, Leonard Cohen, Alela Diane, Timber Timbre, Villagers – and many singer-songwriters.

« In my veins, flow the trouty rivers of rural Ireland and the foxy outskirts of suburban England. Frenglish by education, Canadian by birth and occasionally dreaming of a Pacific island. Deeply absorbed by knowledge that slips through my fingers.

I was born in 1990, Virgo with Virgo rising, Metal Horse of electrified freedom, wild nature wearing ordinary clothes. My teacher is a tree and my church is a forest. Silent sower of seeds, enchanted enchanter, keeper of untold stories, empty shell on the riverbed.» 🪶
