About Janne

Over the years, I’ve lived in many corners of the world: five years in Indonesia, two in Australia, and four in Singapore. Each place brought its own rhythm, colors, and ways of seeing, teaching me to embrace openness and fluidity. Living among different cultures and languages has influenced the way I create — just as I adapt to new ways of expressing myself in words, I also shift between artistic styles, finding freedom in contrast and harmony in diversity.

Now, as a mother of two young boys, I’m constantly rediscovering the world through their eyes. Their curiosity and energy inspire me daily, reminding me to notice fleeting moments, emotions, and beauty in the everyday.

Painting has always been my way of finding balance. It’s the one thing that calms my mind — almost like slipping into a trance. When I paint, I lose myself in the process: layering colors, textures, and emotions until they settle into something that feels whole. Sometimes a piece comes together quickly, but often it takes days, weeks, or even months of reworking and rebuilding until it finally resonates with me.

I don’t limit myself to one style or palette. My work shifts with how I feel — sometimes vibrant and expansive, other times grounded and quiet. My art is a deeply personal expression, an intimate look inside my head and heart. Painting makes me happy, it soothes me, and it draws me inward. More than anything, I hope my work gives you that same sense of connection and calm.
