Artworks by ieva Janu

I enjoy using symbols with personal sentimental meaning and expressing emotions that I can not put into words. You don’t have to keep it to yourself if you can paint it.

I work with watercolor for it’s a medium that has its’ own character. It should not be tamed but accepted instead, like many things in life that will never come true even though we’ll carry them with us forever. Those things create us, and in turn, I create paintings of them, hoping that one day I will accept them just like I accepted the loose, free flow of colored water.
