Ann Veronica Janssens, born on December 29, 1956, in Folkestone, United Kingdom, is a Belgian contemporary artist. In 1999, she represented Belgium at the Venice Biennale and has since participated in numerous other contemporary art biennials worldwide.
Her work comprises sculptures, installations, videos, and occasionally photography. Her installations play with reflections, luminosity, and transparency, using intangible elements such as light, artificial fog, sound, alongside simple materials like glass, mirrors, metals, paraffin oil, and more. For many years, she has been working with and exploring glass in various sizes and colors, allowing her to investigate the limits of perception and to make the invisible visible. Her art questions the relationship between the viewer and space, inviting an immersive sensory experience. Through optical effects and atmospheric phenomena, Janssens disrupts familiar references and reveals the fragility of our perception of reality. Her work engages in a poetic reflection on time, light, and matter, combining conceptual rigor with aesthetic sensitivity.
