French painter Jean-Marc Janiaczyk is a self-taught artist.
He has been passionate about drawing since childhood, and in 1991, he began painting.
Years of drawing provided him with a solid foundation in artistic technique.
He experimented with watercolor, pastel, acrylic, and oil, but ultimately chose oil paint for its flexibility, creamy texture, and slow drying time, qualities that suited his evolving style.
In 1999 he used for the first time a palette knife to paint flowers on one of his paintings, and since he painted exclusively with palette knifes, in a style between realism and impressionism.
He likes to paint landscapes of southern France, where the sunlight is intense, where the colors are vibrant and contrast powerful.
Jean-Marc Janiaczyk wants to represent the heat of the summer on his paintings, sometimes the colors are less explosive, but each of his paintings is an invitation to walk in these landscapes or just sit and admire the scenery, smell the flowers, enjoy a fleeting moment.
His paintings are found in many private collections in Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italia, Morocco, Russia, Slovakia, Spain and USA.
His early paintings were modest attempts, but through careful observation and persistent practice, he taught himself to faithfully reproduce what he saw.
This led him to explore the demanding style of hyperrealism.
Drawn to the beauty of nature, Jean-Marc always favored landscapes.
In 1999, he first experimented with a palette knife to add texture to floral elements.
He was immediately captivated by the expressive quality of the technique.
Since then, he has painted exclusively with palette knives, depicting nature in bold, vibrant colors.
He is especially inspired by the landscapes of southern France, where intense sunlight and striking contrasts bring scenes to life.
Occasionally, he also explores portraits and human figures.
Jean-Marc seeks to capture the warmth and essence of summer.
Each of his paintings is an invitation to wander through a sunlit path, pause to admire the scenery, breathe in the scent of flowers, and savor a fleeting moment.
