Art as an invitation to question familiar ways of seeing and look beyond what we already know.
It shows how the boundaries of seeing and thinking can shift when
perception is set in motion.
Art as a Space for New Perspectives
I see my art as a space for shifting perspectives.
Through my artistic practice, I question familiar ways of seeing and explore how boundaries of thinking, seeing and creating can change.
I work with expressive figuration, selected materials and the deliberate use of light. My paintings bring together visual impressions and personal experiences, creating pictorial spaces that change with the viewer’s perception.
Many of my works emerge from moments when the way we see things changes. Travel, encounters and memories play a role, as do inner developments. Through overlapping imagery and painterly swiping gestures, familiar subjects open up to reveal additional layers.
I see creativity as an inner compass. It gives me the freedom to question the familiar and find my own path. My art reveals what lies beyond the first impression and opens up space for new possibilities.
For me, art is a continuous movement between inner and outer worlds. It creates connections between what we see and what we feel.
Through my work, I want to awaken curiosity about what is still waiting to be discovered. In the world and within ourselves.
Biography
Art as an Inner Compass
Jana B. Pfeiffer, born in 1982 in Leer, Germany, developed her artistic practice during a period of her life shaped by rational thinking, responsibility and the demands of working within established structures.
In painting, she found a counterbalance to the rigid structures of her professional life. The tension between external demands and her desire for freedom and self-directed creativity became an important driving force in her artistic development. This tension also shapes her pictorial worlds, where different realities meet and new possibilities come into view.
Travel, cultural encounters and personal experiences influence her work. She is particularly interested in how external impressions and inner developments interact and change the way we perceive the world.
Today, Jana B. Pfeiffer works as a contemporary artist with a focus on expressive figurative painting. Her works connect people, places and landscapes through different pictorial layers and recurring painterly gestures.
She works primarily in oils, incorporating selected materials and the deliberate use of light. Her works are held in private and international collections.
