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

Her interest lies in voicing the phenomenological process that incorporates the view of the fundamental constituents of reality in the dynamic, interconnected systems, they form.

In her practice as a visual artist, she crafts two-dimensional immersive phenomenological landscapes built one dot and line at a time. 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.

Her writings are the voiced awareness’ tales that may remark about Existence and its elements and Beings; Nature in its inherent intelligence depicted in each of its states, shapes, and ways of unfolding within time; the ongoing perceived sensual stimuli and the notional trails conjured by those; or how the embodied experience of being a human is, in the witnessed emotional, physiological, and experiential aspects that make it so.

Her love for music started at an early age, when taking piano lessons from her mother. Her current musical endeavors are explorations of the depth of oceanic emotions that through recurrent, connected, and exploding waves, provide featured tonalities and jests in her piano musical compositions.
