Anya Janssen's paintings are a celebration of the beauty in the temporary and uncertain world of our existence. She is not interested in telling a well-defined story or capturing a passing moment, but in touching the unknowable world hidden behind the sensory perception. In the virtuoso painted surface of her works, she makes tangible an unstable reality in which everything undergoes a continuous metamorphosis. A world that escapes the symbolic order of language, and in which good and evil, flourishing and decay, present and past are not opposites but manifestations of one and the same. A world that shows beauty with the charm of a razor.
