When Jane is guided by the greatest...
The most discerning of Jane's art lovers will know that she never ceases to draw women, to show their softness as well as their strength, in each artistic period of her artworks. She draws them voluptuous and delicate, showing their curves to reveal their femininity. Jane's women are powerful, gentle and eternal. Often they are also full of mystery, they are complex and true to the women of the world.
They are the expression of an inner freedom, they are alive when Jane draws their shapes and gives them colour.
But in art, in the history of art through the ages, the mores, the artistic trends, who best embodies the woman? Who represents the greatest artistic myth?
Without a doubt, Mona Lisa represents the first and best known representation of the woman as a complex human being.
Her enigmatic smile and piercing eyes suggest the purest mystery and a knowledge that goes beyond the intellectual capacity of the traditional woman. The Mona Lisa is a mythical painting by Leonardo da Vinci and the most famous work of all time, considered the timeless symbol of occidental art. It owes its fame to the fact that it depicts, for that era, a woman's face. The Mona Lisa is truly a portrait of the idea of calm and happiness, of the beauty of life.
The Mona Lisa challenges the codes. Jane makes them her own.
Even less a secret for Jane's followers, often the artist engages, expresses herself, commits her art through symbols, beyond what has become her signature, the woman. And then comes one of the most famous paintings in Jane's artistic journey, namely Climate Change III, which is part of the News as Muse current. Her denunciation ? We are closing our eyes to a burning world, a world whose climate is threatened, mistreated, with an uncertain future. How is it done ? She calls out to her audience through a woman, and not just any woman, but the Mona Lisa, blindfolded, in the middle of the painting, our gaze can't miss her.
With her eternal smile, calm, comforting, her confident posture, the message is clear : the symbol at the service of an artistic commitment, everything is there, Jane's infinite strength.
