Learn about artist Joanna Jensen's unique way of creating art
Published
I never, or very rarely ‘plan’ a painting. The first layer is completely abstract (watercolor). Then while it’s drying I like to look at it for a couple of days, and then it usually turns into something in my imagination – this image I get, I simply draw on top of the dry watercolor, with a black pen.
I prefer not to have a specific agenda or some kind of theme in mind while photographing or working. I believe the fact that there is an unconscious motive on how we all find something enchanting and attractive.

Instead, I try to portray the story from above, so you suddenly have an idea how many 5000 refugees really are.

If you’re a painter, you’re a painter. It really is a particular relationship that you have to the process, to the materials, the way you organize information, the way you organize the world. It is the way you see, and express feelings through the way you see.
Most of the time I know what my paintings will look like before I begin, but on other times I also embrace the freedom to change courses many times along the way. I like to experiment a lot. And I like to do that without having to limit my brush strokes and feelings.
I think art is innate. You are always interested in art if you are that way inclined. The evidence of this is when you think back to when you were a child - did you pick up a crayon, soccer ball or book?
