Bio:
Renata Janiszewska paints on electronic canvas. In her transdisciplinary practise she animates her still works, for which she creates her own soundtracks. Currently she incorporates themes of chance, techspressionism, bio-degradation, intoxication, feminism, and shamanism in her works. She lives in Lion’s Head, Canada.

Artist Statement:
As a new media artist, I show how the organic human universe, art history, and the machine realm of technology merge to create a new form. My work is made with a hybrid blend of analog and digital materials and tools. It is remarkable that "techne" originally meant "art". How did those two concepts become opposite halves of a binary pair? My images are a symbiosis between the fertile world and the teeming digital environment we have invented. There is a beating heart of beauty in my work which is voluptuous and sensual and transcends its linear qualities. I use colour extravagantly and with an intended shimmer. All accompanying music is my own.
