Hello, I am Jael
Hi, I’m Jael Caliman, a Detroit-based surrealist artist who creates playful paintings inspired by childhood, imagination, and the little moments that make life feel less serious. Through whimsical characters, unexpected objects, and subtle emotional undertones, I create art that makes people smile first and think a little longer afterward.

Introducing latest art series: MISCHEIF
Never become too grown to wonder
Mischeif is a playful collection inspired by the child within us the curious, the imaginative, the one who turns ordinary moments into an adventure
Inspired by my nephew and the wonderfully unpredictable world of childhood, each painting captures a moment of curiosity, humor, and harmless trouble. The children are placed in surreal situations where ice cream melts, rules are optional, and ordinary objects become part of an adventure.
