Portraits „Coming Closer To ...“ The work process, which is most difficult for me to create a good picture: The forming of a portrait. It’s not about imaging or artistic refinement. It’s about a piece of soul, a small atomic nucleus, which brings everything to wing. „Yes, I’m recognizing this person“. They’re talking to me, or, nevertheless, don’t want to speak. Then I’m looking for gestures, for emotions. Necessarily they don’t have to sit for me. There are enough talks, texts, pictures, sketches, works, interviews... somewhere the connection exists as a small thin thread. I only have to find it and trace back. No notion, which thread I will get, the pensive one, the sarcastic one, the raging one. There are so many of them. There are people impressing me briefly, but in fact they’re absolutely unsubstantial. There’s no loom, only a coloured finished carpet, at best for a soft barefoot feeling. Those ones I have to give up. I’m looking for those, who never will be finished, who are seeking, growing. The incomplete, hoping, sad, ambitious, crusty, enthusiastic, staggering. The living ones. The origin of such a portrait is extremely time-consuming, the involvement with the character, even for days in spirit. Several sketches are following, until there’s a feeling saying "Right". The work is arising, fast with a knocking heart.

Germany
Born in 1972 in Lichtenstein (GDR), today Jantien lives and works as a painter in the urban region of Aachen (Germany). First artistic education the grandniece of Karl May received in the 1980s by Siegfried Otto-Hüttengrund – predominantly in the drawing of any subject, mainly with lead and coal, additionally in techniques like woodcut and etching. After a study of administration and several business years in marketing and advertising Jantien returned to art in 2011 – since that time painting is her profession. Inside her art work she’s living in various worlds. In many moods, with the most different people, animals and creatures. She grants herself the impact of chaos and dreams, the existence of several faces. Portraits, sceneries and newspaper works are part of Jantien’s current work groups.
