From an early age, Janine Ana Hatha was surrounded by imagination, nature, and many animals. Although her creative spirit bloomed in childhood, she later stepped away from art in pursuit of a more conventional life as a teacher. Yoga, meditation, and a growing connection with nature eventually brought her back to herself—and to her art.

     A transformative meditation experience became the compass of her creative path: her father placed a bundle of paintbrushes in her right hand, telling her to “create the world you wish to see,” while her mother placed a precious stone in her left, reminding her to “stay connected to nature.”

     These symbols continue to shape her work, guiding each brushstroke from heart to hand, inspiring organic forms, flowing patterns, and a deep respect for the spirits of plants, animals and human beings.

     Her journey took a profound turn in 2017 when she discovered The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art. There, she finally found the artistic language she had been searching for and studied with teachers such as Amanda Sage, Autumn Skye Morrison, Daniel Mirante, Olga Klimova, Laurence Caruana, Kevin Campeau, Chris Dyer, Li Lian Kolster, Jonathan Solter, Kuba Ambrose, and Vera Atlantia, whose guidance enriched her technique and vision.

     Alongside her art studies, she also followed a path into shamanic work, sound healing, and transformational dance. Guidance from Roel Crabbé, Liberation Dance practices inspired by Antara Dakini, and several journeys to Peru—connecting with the animal and plant spirits of the Amazon—further shaped her creative process.

     Today, her paintings blend visionary imagery, nature, and the subtle realms discovered through meditation and inner journeying. Through her work, she hopes to spark a sense of connection, inspire others to remember their own creative essence and to imagine—and embody—the world they wish to see.

Janine Ana Hatha’s work is rooted in a classical foundation and continuously shaped through experimentation. She was trained in the traditional Mischtechnik, learning to build depth, luminosity, and precision through careful layering. Today, she works primarily with thin, transparent layers—allowing light, color, and form to shine through organically.

She paints with both acrylics and oils, often incorporating natural pigments. Drawing inspiration from classical oil painting methods, Janine adapts the essence of the Mischtechnik to acrylics through glazing and layered transparencies, creating opalescent depth and subtle transitions. Each layer is applied with intention, gradually building atmosphere, volume, and inner glow.

Her process is intuitive yet meticulous. Fine, translucent layers are woven together to create luminous surfaces, soft edges, and a sense of movement. Organic patterns—such as feathers, fur, plants, water, clouds, galaxies, and energetic lines—emerge naturally and merge into a unified visual field. These elements form an energetic language that connects the visible and the unseen, giving her work its living, visionary quality.
