About me
Already in early childhood, Ivo had enjoyed arts, especially drawing, painting and ceramics.
However, he rediscovered arts with a different intensity and passion in his early thirties. What started as relaxing and enjoyable activity in his free time became a necessity for Ivo’s self-realization. Growing up and living in the Czech Republic, Ivo was surrounded by a wide spectrum of art his entire life which influenced his artistic development.
Today, Ivo feels his art is a process which allows him to express his inner feelings evoked when observing the World around him. On his canvas, Ivo captures the moments seen through his eyes in colors and textures he sees and feels in his mind. The final composition of his art pieces contains a special lightness and beauty which coexist in harmony. Occasionally, elements of contradiction and conflict can be found in Ivo’s art pieces. The artist’s goal, even in these seemingly contradictory paintings, is to bring out a feeling of satisfaction and pleasant inspiration in those viewing his art.
Ivo’s favorite media is oil and acrylic and in recent years he has been using water colors for more and more of his sketches. He most often selects nature scenes, city streets, compositions and people as his objects for expression but he does not shy away from abstracts and nudes.
During his artistic career Ivo experimented with many different techniques and styles. He is a great admirer of impressionism and paints mostly with a pallet knife.
Ivo has held a number of exhibitions in the Czech Republic over the years. The Czech Premier, Mirek Topolanek opened his Vernisaz exhibition in 2009 and selected a painting for his personal art collection.
In the same year, during the pope Benedict XVI visit in the Czech Republic, one of Ivo Janeba’s local scene pieces was gifted to the Pope by one of his entourage members. Besides many art collectors in the Czech Republic and Europe, Ivo Janeba’s paintings can be found in personal collections of art lovers in South Africa, United States, Canada and Australia.
Currently, Ivo Janeba resides in Seattle with his wife where he is preparing his first US exhibition.
