After a university training in industrial design at the Instituto Superior de Diseño Industrial (ISDI) in Cuba, specializing in Habitat (1996), Jeannine Achon devoted herself to painting, initially figurative, and later abstract.

Her painting in the late 1990s and early 2000s is still in large part figurative, but already contains the main technical basis and features for her future abstract works: structure composed of multiple layers, the use of acrylic on paper or canvas, rather colorful approaches.

For the past ten years, her work has been part of the trend of abstract expressionism, following twentieth century artists such as Mark Rothko, Maurice Estève and Joan Mitchell. International exhibitions have been devoted to her in recent years.
