About the artwork
This painting features a canvas largely dominated by shades of white and gray, on which in the background the artist has sketched a delicate scene with dark touches and slight accents of red, creating a subtle contrast. The texture of the paint, apparent and slightly rough, evokes the feel of ice or snow. The work's title, "Seasonal Mood", suggests that it embodies an exploration of the seasons through abstract, minimalist elements. Here, Jan K plays with simplicity of form and richness of texture to engage the viewer in a contemplative process, where the vastness and tranquility of nature seem to unfold.
Expert opinion
This work is representative of Jan K's work, demonstrating his ability to combine abstraction, emotion and reflection on nature.
About the artist
Born in Slovakia in 1968, Jana Koller, whose artist name is Jan K., has lived and worked in Switzerland since childhood. With no particular academic training, she took up painting and explored various techniques such as collage. Her painting, which oscillates between the figurative and the abstract, is inspired by emotion and movement, often influenced by her sports and dance practice. It is characterized by a sober color palette and a sophisticated use of texture. In 2018, after being exhibited at the Grand Palais as part of the Salon des Artistes français, she received the 2nd Achille Fould-Stirbey prize from the Académie des Beaux-Arts.
