About the Artist Janaye Medina
My Background
My artwork has continued to be a vital way for me to express my emotions and aspirations. The majority of my painted works consist of silhouetted dancing figures that mostly convey strength and balance.
Although, my first silhouetted figure painted was created during the storm of my life, they became a language that did not need translation. I did not have the words at that time to communicate with the world what was impeding me. But where words failed, art became the voice that spoke boldly on my behalf.
It was during this time I learned that from a place of darkness can come healing and understanding, and if given the right tools, we can welcome back the light.
In all things, I continue to strive to create works that inspire healing, renewal and joy by sharing mutual stories through my art & jewelry.
My Medium is Life
I use many different mediums, such as rich inks, acrylics, oils and resin, but the most widely used elements for my works of art are my community and the vibrant energy that erupts from it. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to any artistic process, which is why I continue to embrace multiple techniques, materials and genres.
Each idea manifests in its own individual style and transfers itself effortlessly from art & jewelry to clothing & accessories when you remove boundaries.
I invite you to experience my art as a moving poem and to brighten your surrounding with unique art, clothing & accessories that will spark many enlightened conversations.
My Inspiration
Healing and the sharing of love and joy are my true inspirations.
I am grateful to have the many ecommerce and social media platforms available to us during these times that continue to aid in the upward progress of our creative communities.
