About Jan
"A hundred-year-old piano placed in my childhood room developed a strong sense for harmony in me and apparently started my longing for art. Today, the main driver for my own creations is the fight between harmony and chaos, the search for the ultimate equilibrium."

Complexity of a Woman (serigraphy)

Serigraphy of the same named oil on canvas, in exclusive hand made silk prints.

The essence of womanhood is explored through the lens of geometrical deconstruction. Each layer of the woman's identity is contained within elements bordered by four crossing golden lines, symbolizing the complexity and interconnectedness of her being.

At first glance, the woman resonates with both tranquility and depth. Yet, upon closer inspection, one realizes that this attire transcends mere fashion - it embodies the intertwining themes of sexuality and virginity, hinting at the diverse cultural backgrounds of different women.

Within the layers of this composition, one may discern the presence of a nun, her head veiled in humility and devotion. Yet, in a testament to the universality of womanhood, she coexists with representations of women from various cultural and religious backgrounds. This juxtaposition speaks volumes about the dichotomy of visibility and concealment, vulnerability and strength.

The woman's posture is equally intriguing, as she holds her dress with one hand over her breasts and the other at her thighs—a gesture that is at once provocative and shy, inviting viewers to ponder the complexities of female agency and identity.

Through the layers of womanhood, you are invited to explore the multifaceted nature of femininity, transcending cultural, religious, and societal boundaries. It is a testament to the richness and diversity of the female experience, rendered with masterful precision and thought-provoking symbolism.
