Ann Veronica Janssens was born in Folkstone in 1956 (England). She lives and works in Brussels.

Ann Veronica Janssens is a Belgium artist whose main focus in her artistic practice is to investigate the perception of reality dematerializing it with various expedients, first among others, the light. Since the late 1980s, Janssens has developed an artistic practice based on light, color and natural optical phenomena. She continuously experiments with the characteristic attributes of carefully chosen materials (glass, mirrors, aluminum, artificial fog) shapes and light, interacting with our perception of reality to create a recurrent vocabulary of minimalist motifs and beautiful colors.

Her use of light is driven by the desire to show the manifestation of the reality in a different way. She tries less to grasp the impalpable and chooses to experiment with its multiple forms and apparitions instead. For her, art consists not of an object but is actually an experience in itself. The sculpture becomes a place of perception. Consequently, the tools and the palette of her works are an evolving configuration: they depend on the sensation, the experience and the singularity of each viewer. In this way, sculpture is not the object of perception - it is perception that sculpts. Yet, the journey is always unpredictable and extremely personal.

Ann Veronica Janssens seeks to heighten our awareness of these fleeting sensory phenomena.
