Working incessantly to perfect his skills, Jay mastered a hyper-photorealism style, which he thought of as the pinnacle that would earn him respect in the art world. Painting ballerinas, matadors, and Hawaiian dancers, Jay established an international collector base, which ultimately led to commissioned paintings of music icons, world dignitaries, as well as a long list of celebrity collectors. After a brief hiatus, Jay returned to painting full-time in his studio, creating Figurative paintings that were difficult to distinguish from photographs.Today, Jay enlivens monochromatic faces of women with vivid colors that seem to bring life to the canvas.
