“Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?”
~ William Shakespeare

Sissi Janku wanted to be an artist from as early as she can remember. Through moves fromGermany, where she grew up, to Hawaii, California and then Florida, she has seen her artworkevolve from Tropical Designs to European architecture, back to Tropical themes.

Now she finds her work tending toward the abstract, with women playing a more prominent part.

Her sources of influence are the vivid and energetic coloring of the Fauves movement, HenryMatisse, Richard Diebenkorn, and Pierre Bonnard, to name a few.

The mood is sweet, relaxed and sensual, a dreamlike escape from the conflicts and confines of the realm of reality.

“I am finally at a time, place and mind where I feel free enough to experiment with thesepersonalities. It is so important to refresh myself constantly.”

The paintings are done with the palate knife in oil or acrylic.
