Janaina Tschäpe

Janaina Tschape’s work is characterised by immersive paintings that plunge viewers into worlds that are both natural and imaginary, in a state of perpetual transformation. She draws inspiration from water, plants and organic forms and creates pictures in which contours blur and where colours appear to be in motion.

Her works do not seek to represent reality precisely, but rather to convey sensations and atmospheres, in a spirit akin to Claude Monet and his explorations of light and landscapes. Looking at her paintings, one has the impression of entering a living world made of marine echoes, vegetation, and hybrid forms, leaving ample room for the imagination. Accessible and dreamlike, her work favors a sensory approach, inviting the viewer to feel rather than analyze.
