Jana Voscort (b. 1991, Emsdetten, Germany) is a contemporary figurative artist whose large-scale oil paintings reflect the tensions and nuances of intense emotional worlds.
Guided by the theme Mindful Mess & Magic Moments, her work weaves together heart and mind, despair and hope, vulnerability and healing ... a visual yin and yang that embraces the full spectrum of humanity.

Self-taught from an early age and always drawn to artistic expression, Jana began experimenting as a child with pencil drawings and anatomical studies. At twelve, she discovered acrylic painting, and what began with animal subjects soon evolved into a deep fascination with human portraiture. A way to capture and translate complex emotional states.

As an introverted voice in an increasingly noisy world, she immersed herself in psychology and the exploration of her own emotions and behavioral patterns. Shaped by personal experiences with anxiety disorders and social phobias, art became a constant anchor. Offering stability, a safe space, and ultimately a path to self-realization and autonomy, even in her most challenging phases of life.

Her move to Berlin in 2020 marked a turning point ... a radical new beginning, a blank page. The anonymity of the city provided retreat and self-reflection, while simultaneously opening new perspectives and bringing seemingly unattainable dreams within reach. Berlin became a gift, infusing her work and her being with lasting inspiration and creativity.

In her practice, Voscort combines classical techniques with experimental approaches. By merging oil paint with mixed media, she creates layered, tactile textures that make emotions not only visible but almost tangible. Neon hues and strong contrasts heighten the intensity of these inner landscapes, while recurring eyes appear as symbolic “gateways to the soul,” conveying both tension and fragility.

Vision
"My works are not meant to be merely viewed, but felt. Serving as a medium for emotional exchange. My vision is to create a platform that makes emotions visible and accessible, while at the same time confronting, informing, and offering a safe space."
