Her main source of inspiration is nature and the cosmos that surrounds us. From microscopic scales invisible to the human eye to macro dimensions unimaginable to the mind.
Always curious about structures and textures, Jana discovers and studies 'organic sequences' everywhere.

Organic Sequences
Jana experiments with processes and techniques that do not focus on the perfect outcome, but rather let structures unfold slowly and grow organically with the flow of the ink.
Results should not be influenced or forced, the dynamic of the moment defines the drawing.
Therefore each illustration is unique and reflects her moods and tempers of the hours and days it has been created on.
The naturally developing motives are framed by static borders of basic geometric forms. This contrast of imperfect ornaments and the flawless shapes creates a balanced new whole.
