Uhma Janus is a perceiver and a thinker who finds expressive outlets as a visual artist, through her writings, and musical compositions.

Her interests lie in understanding the fundamental question of what is, of how things are in themselves and in the relationships they have with what surrounds, of what being human is, and in the search for a communal coexisting possibility within the Biosphere that necessitates to solve the metacrisis at hand.

In her practice as a visual artist, she is interested in exploring line and mark creation as the fully-aware, yet spontaneous process that induces the honest, emptied-out state for each moment in which the medium and the substrate get to be forever linked through that impressed trace that is uniquely instantiated.

Her paintings are often composed of repetitive elements that through small or overt variations get to produce the microscopic tapestry for the complex landscape contained in the emergent macroscopic patterns.

The emergent imagery in her paintings often resembles that which has naturally informed her perceptions all along. Whether in the overall or in the inner constitution of her paintings, one is to observe the singular lines or patterns that invoke the natural world in its biological or atomic compositions, registering too the intrinsic dynamism by which life and matter, in their constitution, are energized with.

Her paintings are built through the careful attention to how each element can find its placement within or in that contiguous relationship to the other ones, a process that then is to yield the perceived coherence that is locally and systemically preserved and that is featured as the structural backbone of her visual compositions, just in the ways that ecologies and the unperturbed Biosphere emerge from a similar structuring relational principle.

Some of her writings are the voiced awareness’ tales as this experiences all its stimuli-driven perceptions and the notional trails that those are to conjure as the mind actively engages with them.  

She also writes about the human condition as the emergent embodied experience that it is, in the witnessed emotional, physiological, and experiential aspects that make it so.

She writes about Existence and its elements and Beings, about Nature and its inherent intelligence depicted in each of its states, shapes, and ways of unfolding within time, as while simply being.

Her musical interests are varied, in terms of the genres (ranging from classical, jazz, to acoustic experimental, to name a few) or in the musical instruments that she has played with, so far. Her latest musical endeavors are piano musical compositions which reflect her training in classical piano music that she underwent in her childhood and adolescence and the deep musical formative impressions made by the music of Chopin, Debussy, Khachaturian, Rachmaninoff.  

Her musical compositions are an expression of her passionate force that in themselves are an exploration of the depths of oceanic emotions that through recurrent, connected and exploding waves, provide featured tonalities and jests, as the underlying vast acoustic realm continues to fluctuate, to roar, and to be.
