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."

Dialog with a Snake (serigraphy)

Serigraphy based on the oil on canvas "Temptation", in exclusive hand made silk prints.

The Dialog with a Snake brings the biblical story of Eve, where the concept of original sin, traditionally attributed to women, is reexamined as a universal aspect of human nature. Staying true to the style of Geometric Deconstructivism, lines and circular forms to create a harmonious yet tension-filled composition, where every element holds symbolic significance.

The painting depicts a scene where a serpent, resting on a golden line, directs the viewer’s gaze toward the figure of a woman with long hair. This woman, reminiscent of the biblical Eve, faces the serpent, which embodies temptation but also serves as a reminder that we all carry our own "serpents" and that every choice can have significant consequences.

The composition, guided by the golden lines, connects all elements within the painting and symbolizes an inevitable path. The message about the timelessness of temptation extends beyond women alone; the Dialog with a Snake is a portrayal of the inner struggles that are an integral part of every human life, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own "serpents," carried silently within.

Edition: limited to 24 numbered copies.
