Description from the seller
In the work of Gertie Janssen, her zest for life is reflected. It is therefore strongly influenced by her mood and well-being. Each work arises in a process in which choices of materials, techniques, colors, and shapes come about spontaneously. She does not want to depict 'stories' or develop plans. Stories and plans are hindrances to her creativity. Yet in her work her life is recognizable. She works, partly unconsciously, with metaphors that are only later recognized by herself. She uses her works to experience the reality of everyday life. Painting for her is a relaxing adventure that answers a fundamental life need. The search for adventure has in recent years also led the artist to experiment with new materials and expressions, after she had in previous years mainly limited herself to painting. The spontaneity and honesty make Gertie Janssen's work accessible to everyone.
