Intertwining storytelling and visual art, Johnna Slaby mixes haphazard lines, interpretations of color, and rehearsed movements to create memories that people can see.
For commission/painting inquiries:
Johnna Slaby is an artist born and raised in Japan.
Utilizing various materials from acrylics to coffee, she creates abstract pieces that are reminiscent of a late-afternoon coffee or the golden hour near a river.
Through the experiences and stories that she comes across during her travels and life, she works them into pieces to create memories people can see.
From her large canvas pieces to her intimate paper studies, she dissects both mundane and profound moments of life, continuing to ask, What does it mean to be alive?
She currently works between Japan, the UK, and the US.
