Janskà (b. 1981) is a Czech figurative painter who studied in Slovakia before returning to her hometown of Olomouc in Czech Republic. Revisiting the female nude and focusing on portraiture, Janskà’s work is challenging the traditional representation of femininity. Her doll- like characters act like symbols of femininity that are, in the end, unattainable. Deprived of physicality and beautifully perfect, her female nudes question erotism and stereotypes with intriguing faces.
Janskà has been exhibiting for the past ten years internationally and this spring saw the opening of a solo exhibition at Adrian Sutton Gallery, Paris. The artist has been selected to participate in an institutional exhibition at Telegraph Contemporary Art Space in Olomouc in autumn 2025 alongside works by Caroline Walker.
