Janis Sneiders
Janis Sneiders is interested in internal, unseen processes leaving their marks on the external world, becoming visible, breaking out. He works with mirroring his own human condition in everyday as well as imagined environments, objects and events. As above, so below. The works ought to be looked at as if they were icons or symbols of thoughts and feelings, reminders.
