Janis Anton’s lush paintings are entwined with a narrative and emotive colors that ask for an immediate joyful response.

The colors are a catalyst of emotion, are delight to the eye, and beg for your attention. The colors in the paintings are a mode of amplification: color is the invitation, the insistence that you respond.

The romantic naturalism and botanical reference in the paintings tell a story or a myth connecting the viewer with questions about memory or a story they already know. The series come from magical gardens of imagination asking to you explore their landscape.
