JANE À PARIS is my artistic pen name, quite literally, inspired from travel abroad and political subjugation and persecution. I have been painting for over ten years, and I consider myself to be an expressionistic painter. I have some formal training, but for the most part I am a self taught artist. My inspirations come from the masters of expressionism. I have a deep love for expressionism – ‘Expressionistic artist sought to develop pictorial forms which would express their innermost feelings rather than represent the external world. Expressionist painting is intense, passionate and highly personal, based on the concept of the painter’s canvas as a vehicle for demonstrating emotions. Violent, unreal color and dramatic brushwork make the typical expressionistic painting quiver with vitality.’ This is what I try to achieve when I paint, and I think I quite often do because I am a very expressionistic and emotional painter. My favorite painters are Beckman, Van Gogh, Heckel, Jawlensky, Kirchner, Kokoschka, Marc, Munch (The Father of Expressionism), Nolde, Pechstein, Roualt, Schiele, Schmidt-Rottluff, and Soutine. I do not limit myself to just this style of painting. I also experiment with different styles and medias. I have many favorite artist, for me art is a passion that has literally saved my life and breaths life into my soul. To quote one of my favorite artist, Gerhard Richter , “Art is the highest form of hope”. To me each painting I create is a part of me. My soul, my body, and my emotions are all involved in the creation process. I view art just as I would view motherhood. I give birth to a new creation and it takes on a life of its own. I am available for commissions. You can reach me at janeaparis.artist@hotmail.com. I am signing off with a quote from myself – ‘life is art; art is life’ JANE À PARIS / Copyright ©2008 JANE À PARIS
