Art That Speaks in Light and Darkness

This space is more than a portfolio—it’s a reflection of my journey through art, mental health, and self-discovery. I’ve lived with Bipolar Disorder for much of my life, and instead of hiding it, I’ve chosen to embrace it as a driving force behind my creativity. Every painting, soundscape, and design you’ll find here is part of a larger story—one that explores the complexity of emotion, identity, and healing through the creative process.

 

I create under different names depending on the medium:

 

• My paintings and physical works are signed as Jay Wat.

• My music compositions are released as SumerGnosis.

• And all of it comes together under the umbrella of Quantum Hive Studios.

 

Quantum Hive Studios began as a personal outlet, but has grown into a platform dedicated to something deeper: using art and technology to support mental wellness and connection. Whether I’m painting, designing, composing, or building digital experiences, everything I do is centered around the belief that creativity can heal and empower.

 

My work draws from lived experience as well as thoughtful research. I’m passionate about the science of the mind and the power of storytelling, and I bring that into every project—whether it’s a painting series, a clothing design, or an immersive digital tool.

 

Above all, I believe in being transparent, accessible, and real. This site isn’t just about what I’ve made—it’s about sharing something meaningful with others who might need to feel seen or inspired. If my story or my work resonates with you, I invite you to explore more, reach out, or join me in this journey.

 

Thanks for being here.
