Jana Cordenier
°1989, Poperinge, Belgium.
Lives and works in Ghent, Belgium.
Jana Cordenier (born in 1989 in Poperinge, Belgium, resides and works in Ghent, Belgium) revisits the medium of painting in an utmost intimate way. For the past few years, Cordenier has been on a quest to soften the heavy touch of the paintbrush and the inadmissibility of its surface to attain elusive moving atmospheres. Influenced by her surroundings and structures of nature, intuitively, Jana Cordenier is known for her luminous works, stretching transparent and soft surfaces populated by bright colours and intriguing textures.
