O P E N P O R T A L S

Artist Micky Jansen showcases a body of work, with her Open Portals series, that has been years in the making.

Open portals explores the symbolic and spiritual significance of life’s pivotal transitions, encompassing illness, recovery, and renewal.

Through bold colors and powerful depictions of female figures, Micky reflects on the strength and resilience that arise from these experiences.

This body of work delves into the interconnectedness of individuals and the moral values that guide us, evoking feelings of integrity, empathy, and a profound connection to the natural world.

Jansen’s artistic journey begins with drawing, which then evolves into various mediums, creating a unique body of work that is both visually compelling and emotionally resonant.

Open Portals channels her personal experience of breast cancer and recovery, using a minimalistic approach to the figure that invites viewers to reflect on their own interpretations. The focus on line work symbolizes life’s interconnectedness, with each piece representing the closing of one chapter and the opening of another.

Through this work, Jansen invites contemplation and introspection, offering a profound meditation on life’s continual cycles of transformation.

We hope to see you at the opening reception.
