poissons-6 (2013) Painting by Marie-Pierre Jan

Marie-Pierre Jan is a contemporary award-winning French artist. Her life as an artist inhabits the figure of the tree, which she views as a "universal father" with common roots. For Jan, its symbolism represents a life path that she explores via her artworks. 

Her technique, which she describes as "modern naive painting," begins with a dark background to add depth to her brilliant colors. Materials (tissue paper, cardboard, string, sand, pottery, etc.) are added between the layers of paint, as well as words, but without a subliminal message, just simple words. And this is the way Jan's imaginative landscapes are born.
