Portrait oil painting by Jerry Khach.

“I paint to translate what words cannot. My work is a quiet dialogue between color and feeling — a reflection of life’s subtleties, rhythms, and silences. I am most inspired when music plays, light shifts, or a single moment catches me off guard. Every painting is an emotional record — not of what I saw, but what I felt. I don’t seek to impress. I seek to express.”— Jerry Khach

About

Jerry Khach is an Armenian-American oil painter whose work is rooted in emotion, memory, and quiet storytelling. Based in Hoboken, New Jersey, he creates with a deep sense of purpose — drawing inspiration from music, nature, the feminine spirit, and the evocative language of color. His art is a blend of restraint and intensity, often walking the line between control and chaos, silence and sound.Jerry paints not for recognition, but for truth. He does not seek galleries or acclaim; instead, he allows each piece to emerge organically, shaped by intuition and feeling. His studio is a private sanctuary of layered pigments and soft music, where imagination flows freely and honestly. Each canvas offers a moment of reflection — inviting viewers not just to observe, but to feel something deeply human.Influenced by both his Armenian roots and American surroundings, Jerry’s work bridges the classical and the contemporary. His subjects range from dreamlike landscapes to abstract expressions of femininity, always infused with emotional depth. Though soft-spoken, his art speaks boldly — into hearts, into homes, and into the quiet spaces where meaning lives.

“Velvet Orbit”She is a secret folded in velvet,
a nebula of limbs and longing.
The chair moans beneath her—
golden, guilty,
as if it too remembers touch.
Curls spill like ink on midnight,
a single eye, wide with want,
pierces through the dark
and dares the stars to come closer.
Her pose is no accident—
a language of hips and heel,
of skin glazed in moonmilk and fire.
Even silence licks its lips.
Around her, orbs spin—
planets caught in lust’s gravity.
She does not move.
She does not need to.
The universe bends toward her stillness.

“Lit From Within”She is an altar of unsaid things,
a vessel where color and silence conspire.
Crimson lips press into promise,
but it is her stillness that sings.
Held between her thighs:
a chalice of flame,
not born of wax,
but of breath and ritual.
Her skin—gilded with the hush of galaxies—
draws constellations inward,
as if the stars themselves
once bathed in her heat
and never returned.
Nipples like twin glyphs,
seared into the firmament—
not vulgar,
but votive,
as if they too remember
what it is to worship
without shame.
She does not gaze;
she offers.
Not herself—
but the myth of her fire.

“In Rose and Readiness”She sits beneath the hush of woven light,
where day slips gold through lattice bones
and time itself dares not intrude.
No courtly fanfare stirs—
only the breathless still of a room
witnessing a woman
preparing not for conquest,
but for communion.
Her hair, a blue not found in portraiture,
falls like verses unsent.
One rose—plucked from the hush of a basket—
trembles at her ear,
not as ornament,
but as omen.
Her fingers linger at her temple,
slow and reverent,
as if arranging the face
her lover will memorize.
There is no haste.
Desire, for her, is deliberate.
She readies herself not for gaze,
but for recognition—
to be seen, entirely,
and touched only by truth.
Let the world outside keep its noise.
She is not waiting.
She is composing.

“The Surrendered Face”Two faces, one breath—
a confession folded into color.
She leans not toward him,
but through him—
as if to slip beneath his skin
and bloom where names no longer matter.
Flesh bends into geometry,
lips pressed like seals on parchment
never meant to be read aloud.
Love here is not a mirror,
but a merging.
She holds the stem of a flower
as though it were a sentence—
the final one,
unwritten,
because it was always meant to be felt.
His mouth is shadowed velvet,
hers a sunlit script,
and in the meeting of their edges,
something ancient exhales.
This is not romance.
This is invocation.
A hymn of surrender,
rendered in pigment
and pulse.

“In the Fold of the Infinite”They do not embrace—
they converge,
like tides drawn by the same invisible moon.
Two bodies, blue as remembered smoke,
dissolve into each other’s ache.
No names. No skin.
Only the curve of becoming.
Her limbs bloom from his ribcage
as if he dreamt her
into bloom.
And she—
she leans not in passion,
but in prophecy,
as though love were the oldest language
her bones remember.
See how their fingers forget separation,
how even silence between them
has breath.
This is not seduction.
It is origin.
The point at which longing ends
and belonging begins.
They are not lovers.
They are a single breath,
held between worlds
and never released

“The Moment Before Fire”Not lovers,
not yet gods—
they meet in that breathless threshold
where myth begins.
Bodies tangled like prophecy,
spines arched into question marks,
hands searching for meaning
in the syntax of skin.
There is no choreography here,
only instinct—
ancient,
untranslated.
He is origin:
all sinew and shadow,
pulling time taut in his limbs.
She is the rupture:
the bloom that breaks
from beneath what was never soft.
Together, they are a sentence
too sacred to be written—
a scripture of motion,
a gospel of touch.
What binds them is not flesh
but the raw gravity of recognition:
to see and be seen,
to take and be undone.
This is no dance.
This is the world
just before it burns
beautiful.

“Molten Figure”She twists through the lacquer of heat,
not sculpted—
but seared into motion.
No gesture here is ornamental.
Her limbs, flung like ribbons cut from skin,
arc in rhythm with something unspoken,
ancient as muscle,
urgent as thirst.
The floor doesn’t hold her.
It reverberates.
A red so loud
it swallows outlines.
A green so dark
it feels like breath held too long.
She is neither muse nor memory.
She is a body
mid-metamorphosis,
spilling its shape across flame-colored silence.
There’s no shame in this geometry—
no hiding in the architecture of ache.
Only the flex,
the torque,
the slow split between restraint
and rapture.

“Chromatic Pulse”She arcs across the canvas
like a chord struck too hard—
raw, resonant, red.
There is no gravity here,
only tension and release.
Lust becomes structure.
Color becomes breath.
Her skin—sanguine lacquer,
painted in defiance of shade—
splits open against the yellow swell of day.
She writhes not in pain,
but in command.
Blue pours from her crown
like an oil of night,
coiling down her back
in strands that whisper
what silence never could.
Every line is a pulse.
Every shadow, a rumor
the body never denied.
She is not nude.
She is elemental.
And somewhere beneath all that color—
she is listening
for the next tremor
that will split her open
once more

“Between the Banks”They meet where the river forgets its name—
not to cross,
but to tether.
One in red, barefoot and angled like a question,
leans into the trembling green
as though balance were belief.
The other—shadow-draped and wind-cast—
extends not rescue,
but permission.
Their hands, braided at the center,
form a bridge no architect could sketch—
built from the hush of shared glances,
from afternoons folded into wet leaves
and rope swings.
The trees bear witness,
not as witnesses do,
but as conspirators.
Even the water holds its breath,
smoothing the current
where their fingers touch.
This is not a moment.
It is a passage.
A dance strung between refusal and return.
One lets go of earth.
The other lets go of certainty.
Both are held
by something older than motion—
the instinct
to meet in the middle
and stay

“Rose, Between Flames”She grows where nothing should—
in the hush beneath parted drapery,
where heat is not light
but longing in motion.
A single stem,
green and lucid,
rises through molten air
toward a silence made of color.
The petals are not red—
they are refusal.
Not the velvet of romance,
but the bruised hue of persistence.
A pulse caught mid-bloom.
Around her, everything flickers:
hair or flame,
dusk or dawn,
it hardly matters.
The world here does not settle—
it trembles.
Above her, a veil—
not of concealment,
but of ceremony.
As if the entire canvas leaned in
to witness a birth
too quiet to declare itself.
She does not reach.
She roots.
And in doing so,
claims the storm
as her own.

“Fugue in Crimson Silk”She is not poised—
she is suspended,
midway between gesture and genesis.
Threads of vermilion and gold
coil around her like declarations,
not clothing but crescendo—
a tapestry unraveled by movement.
Her form slices the ochre air,
each curve a deliberate misstep
from the architecture of stillness.
She doesn’t twist—
she carves,
redefining space with presence alone.
Velvet shadows flirt with the sheen of lacquered heels,
fishnet and flame clashing like rival verses.
Her silhouette is orchestral,
yet feral—
born from the chaos of rhythm made flesh.
Behind her, feathers or fire—
no one can say.
Around her, echoes follow too slowly
to keep up with her invention.
She is not dancing.
She is being written—
in a language too bright
to read aloud.

“She Regards Herself in Flame”She kneels,
not in surrender,
but in study.
One arm cast back like a cresting wave,
the other lifted with forensic precision—
as if the mirror might blink first.
The light doesn’t fall on her.
It obeys her,
gathering in folds of thigh,
flickering off the arc of shoulder
like a secret confessed mid-laugh.
Her body—painted in bruised rose and bone—
is not ornament.
It is architecture.
A structure that has known collapse,
and chosen instead
to be beautiful on purpose.
The red lace,
a whisper too deliberate to be shy,
sits like punctuation
on a paragraph of provocation.
She does not ask,
"Do I please?"
She asks,
"Do I recognize?"
The mirror gives no answer.
Only the silence
of a woman who knows
the answer is always hers
to sculpt.

“Mask of the Threshold”She kneels at the seam of two worlds—
yellow fever behind her, red bloom ahead.
Not trapped, not posing,
but becoming.
Paint clings to her like conviction,
her body—a map of resistance
inked in ochre, cobalt, flame.
A spear cuts through her center,
less weapon than axis—
dividing not her form, but her myth.
Her face is masked in blue silence,
not to vanish,
but to sharpen.
Each strand of fire-born hair
an invocation she doesn’t need to speak.
She is posture as prophecy,
gesture as inheritance.
We do not interrupt her.
We absorb her.

“Contour of Her Silence”She folds into herself
like a question unspoken—
a figure of marrow and lacquered dusk,
drawn in broad strokes and sharp memory.
Light pools on her shoulder,
but refuses to rest.
Every shadow on her skin
has been chosen.
Her mouth, half-open,
meets her fingertip—
not coyly,
but in ritual,
as if measuring the taste
of her own precision.
She does not perform.
She holds.
Weight.
Posture.
Gaze.
The world offers a canvas.
She returns a boundary.
And within that tension,
something ancient pulses—
not in fire,
but in form.

“The Geometry of Her Refusal”She does not rise.
She arranges.
Every tendon a line of intent,
every joint, an assertion drawn in oil.
Her skin is not surface—
it is cipher:
white etched with embers,
folded into a posture that speaks
without appealing.
Hair, wind-thrown like black ribbon,
meets a face carved from pause.
Not softness. Not war.
Just the clarity of someone
who has left both behind.
She touches nothing.
Yet everything curves around her,
as if space itself were listening.
In the hush beneath color,
she builds a language of angles
no one is invited to decode.
She is not withholding.
She has simply chosen
not to explain.

“Painted Into Being”She does not apply makeup.
She performs it.
A movement not of surface—
but survival.
Lipstick blooms in a stroke too bold to please,
too crimson to confess.
Her face, half-drowned in powder-blue liquid,
drips artifice like prophecy.
Breasts—spherical, forward, unblinking—
not seducing,
but surveilling.
She is not nude.
She is illustrated.
Each contour drawn by her own directive.
A green leaf hangs at the waist—
symbol or sarcasm,
who can say?
One thigh bears a gash
so precise it reads like punctuation.
Her hands grip herself
as if anchoring a narrative too wild to be told aloud.
Nails lacquered in warning.
Elbows flared like protest.
The golden field around her does not soften—
it watches.
Even the floor gleams with silence,
as though unsure how to frame what she’s becoming.
She does not seek beauty.
She interrogates it—
redefines it
in smears, in fractures,
in the audacity to begin again
without apology

“Vow in the Air”She moves as if chased by nothing—
as if the world had cracked open just enough
to let her through.
One leg flung toward sky,
the other curved like punctuation
at the end of a sentence
only she could write.
Her dress—red and clinging—
slips with intention,
a ribbon of risk wound high on the thigh.
Not indecency,
but a flag.
In her fist, a rose.
Not held,
but brandished—
as if she once kissed pain into bloom
and called it hers.
Hair, wind-snatched and silver-veined,
fans like a banner of defiance
while the backdrop warps—
teal into storm, cobalt into gasp.
She is not dancing.
She is translating joy
into a language the body still remembers
after forgetting how to land.

“Night Creatures Fold Themselves in Ink”She coils like an unread sentence
written in vertebrae and lacquer,
her limbs—if they are limbs—
scribbled into shape by instinct, not anatomy.
Around her, the night is not dark.
It’s drenched.
Cobalt churns like brine,
dragging hair and thought
into some blue-blooded elsewhere.
A mask? A face? A second skin?
Two eyes blink from her hip
like secrets too alive to bury.
Her back bears a glyph—
some ancient sigil not meant for language,
but for surrender.
Flesh is no longer flesh—
it’s territory.
She is not moving;
she is molting.
You do not look at her.
You are looked through.

“In the Orchard of Motion”Three women move
as if gravity were a choice.
Their bodies, lacquered in sunlight,
curve like verses—
not written,
but remembered.
Each gesture is calligraphy:
a palm resting near breast,
a thigh poised in praise of balance,
a neck arched like dawn unfolding.
The air around them thickens
with citrus and silk.
Green drapes and plumage sway—
not to cover,
but to accentuate
the pleasure of being seen
by the sun alone.
There is no stage.
Only golden hush,
and skin that communes
without speaking.
They are not lovers.
They are not muses.
They are myth,
mid-bloom.

“Herald of the Interior Sun”She rises in a robe of stripes—
not to be adorned,
but to become
a signal.
Arms lifted past judgment,
past muscle,
past sky—
she opens herself to an unseen current,
a language not spoken,
but absorbed through bone.
Behind her, green tendrils spiral,
not vines,
but syllables from an older world.
To her left, red circles pace the yellow void
like a countdown
to origin.
Geometry fractures in the air—
triangle, flame, split ellipse—
symbols migrating toward her crown
as if memory had color
and waited to be received.
She is not praying.
She is translating light
into body.
And all around her,
the canvas does not observe.
It echoes.

“Draped in Deliberate Silence”She gazes not outward,
but inward—
a spiral set in place of an iris,
ever folding back into thought.
Her ear holds the sun:
a golden disc carved with sharp intention,
a vow made visible
but never spoken.
Draped in blue and saffron—
she wears contrast like conviction,
and symmetry like armor.
No line here is idle.
Each contour is coded,
each curve a compass
turning not to north,
but to knowing.
She is not inviting.
She is remembering.
And in that remembrance,
we glimpse something older than desire:
the artistry of restraint.

“Eye of the Unnamed Muse”She exists in fragments—
but none of them broken.
A cheekbone becomes a crescent,
an earring, a portal.
The eye—single, cerulean, sidelong—
sees more than you meant to show.
She is not pink.
She is blush drawn from memory,
from coral-stained dreams
and untold inheritance.
Breasts rendered in deep plum—
not soft, but sculptural,
as if midnight learned to take shape.
Her fingers, lacquered in citrus and dusk,
move with a secrecy only rhythm can read.
Around her:
botanical whispers,
green smoke,
and the hum of a story too alive for words.
This is not portraiture.
It’s concealment by design—
a choreography of color and silence
where even her shadows are stylized.
And if she smiles,
you won’t see it.
But you’ll feel it,
somewhere beneath your ribs.

She Sits and He Plays
By: Flow
There's nothing like live music where the tribe gathers, drown together by a rhythm that speaks to the soul. As the piano's keys are pounded with fervor, an undeniable beat surges through the room. The crowd rises, pulled into the swell of sound that pulses in the air. The bar jumps, feet stomp, hands collide in a joyous, synchronized applause. All is as it should be, the outside world forgotten in the euphoria contained within those walls.
Then, at the height of it all, a voice... melodic and sudden cuts through the music and brings everything to a halt.Heads turn. She sits atop the piano, her song uninvited but utterly captivating. Her voice is soul-deep, the heartbeat of a thousand hearts struck as one. Every note lands with precision, pitch perfect, melody rich, tone resonant.Tears follow the echo of her final note. Nothing more needs to be said. The night ends not with a bang, but with her lingering on the piano, still and silent, long past one.

“Where the Horizon Bows to Her”She rises—not from land,
but from longing.
A silhouette cleaved from flame,
her skirt, a crimson flare
against the bruised gold of sky.
Beneath her:
an ocean stitched in cobalt and ivory,
its waves folding like applause.
Around her:
birds in scatter-formation,
not leading—
but following.
Her arms are not lifted.
They command.
She cleaves the air with her reach,
each fingertip a decree of freedom
carved in silhouette.
The sun splits open beneath her heel.
The sea flares in echo.
And the sky,
in all its incandescent awe,
knows this is not flight—
but arrival.

“The Arrangement of Her Silence”She does not speak—
she composes.
A face turned inward,
drawn not for likeness
but for stillness.
Her hair, deliberate threadwork,
falls in spirals of ochre and smoke.
It is not winded,
but woven—
into memory, into gesture,
into time without telling.
Red hands arise:
one resting, one remembering.
They do not belong to grief—
they belong to what came before it.
Her breast, brushed in gold,
is not exposed,
but declared—
as if her heart were a cipher
meant to be read in color,
not sound.
She is not posing.
She is preserving:
the moment before a thought
becomes a word.

“The Sleep of Touching Shadows”Two faces lean—
not toward a kiss,
but toward dissolution.
Blue bends into violet,
cheek cradled by cheek,
as if memory had fractured
into two softened masks.
They do not speak.
They blur.
One weeps in midnight hues,
lashes long as silken regret.
The other curls inward,
a hush drawn in spirals.
Below, a golden body turns—
part woman, part fruit,
part flame caught mid-thought.
One breast, a sun still ripening.
One hip, a field of unspoken yes.
Hands flutter in the margin,
not reaching, but echoing.
This is not a moment.
It is aftermath—
a radiance remembering the heat
of what it can no longer hold.

“Where One Sleeps, One Keeps Watch”You sleep in fire—
cheeks sculpted in coral and ochre,
lips parted in a sigh
that forgets its source.
Above, your hand lifts
a twig,
or a wand,
or the last breath of a vow
no longer whispered aloud.
Below, another face
carved in soil and shadow
listens with closed eyes.
It does not slumber.
It endures.
Hair falls in calligraphic waves,
black and white,
like silence written in two directions.
And between the two—
a threshold:
where tenderness becomes vigil,
and love,
a ritual of opposites
coiled in unspoken flame.

“Jeannette in Smoke”Jeannette smokes like she’s conjuring lovers—
not remembered, not forgotten,
just blurred in the curl of her exhale.
Her laugh is lacquered red,
her eyes—two blue lies told beautifully.
A green hat crowns her mischief,
tilted just enough to suggest
she’s already won the argument.
Gloved in yellow,
she raises her hand like a queen,
not to wave—
but to dismiss the ordinary.
Neck adorned with amber sins,
she wears her past like couture—
tailored, intentional,
daring you to stare too long
and care too much.
Jeannette does not walk the streets of Paris.
She strolls through myth,
leaving only smoke
and the echo of your curiosity.

"Camille, Without a Gaze"She was born from brocade and bourbon,
where velvet curtains blushed to hear her name.
Camille—
not whispered, not shouted,
but spoken like perfume
pressed behind an ear.
Her gaze is a closed salon,
no entry granted,
yet all are drawn
to the hush behind her lids.
That turban—rouge as withheld affection,
folded with the precision
of a woman who’s never mistaken
indulgence for surrender.
A rose unfurls beside her temple,
not blooming, but watching.
And pearls—oh, the pearls—
not wrapped but stationed,
as if each bead were a past confession
strung with calculated restraint.
She has loved.
She has unlearned it.
Now, she listens only
to the click of a door behind a man who dared presume.
Camille does not entertain.
She receives.
With the poise of red wine unsipped
and a century that still asks,
but never answers.
