Janice Kovar
Welcome
2024/2025
My contemporary abstract paintings delve into the intricate relationships between colour, form, and texture, inspired by the ever-changing rhythms of nature. Through a process of layering and building up richly textured surfaces, I create complex geometric forms that evoke the organic patterns and shapes found in the natural world.
Each piece is a meditation on the interplay between structure and spontaneity as I seek to capture the beauty of the world around us.
New Collection for 2025 coming soon!
Janice Kovar is a contemporary artist known for her thought-provoking abstract paintings that explore the intersection of nature and urbanity.

viewers to contemplate the intricate relations between the natural and built environments. Through her art, she continues to investigate the tension and harmonies between order and chaos, structure and spontaneity, and the urban and rural landscapes that shape our lives.

New Collection: BETWEEN THE LINES
Grid. SOLD
24" x 24" Mixed media on board
Welcome to my website and to my new series of works for 2024/25 that explore themes of urban and rural spaces through the use of abstraction.
My paintings are textural, layered, and evocative of surfaces that you would find in nature. Through the use of fragmentation, distortion and unique mark making, I create paintings and sculptural assemblages that speak to the notion of the passage of time, renewal, and connection to our environment.
