Biography

Janet Goldstein, a local Montreal artist with a BA in Translation from Concordia University, is a versatile creator who delves into jewelry design and abstract art. Her canvas serves as a playground where she blends acrylics and mixed media, allowing her innate chameleon-like nature to shine through. Each piece reflects her unique style and mood, mirroring the rhythm of her surroundings and the current pulse of the world.

Self-taught and fearless, Janet experiments with a fusion of acrylic and spray paints, enriching her compositions with depth and texture through pastes, gels, and metallic elements. Her canvases transcend the flat plane, often embracing a 3D concept that beckons viewers to explore further. Inspired by luminaries such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, Janet infuses her work with their revolutionary spirit, pushing boundaries and defying categorization.

Janet's art demonstrates a range of emotions and ideas, inviting audiences to interpret and connect with each piece individually. Her refusal to be confined by artistic conventions keeps her creativity vibrant and alive. Through exhibitions like "Expression of Colour" at The Montreal Art Centre and "Galerie Connexe" in Parc des Meubliers, she shares her evocative creations with the world. Her current focus on new pieces promises more exciting journeys ahead at Galerie 203 from her newly established studio in the vibrant heart of Montreal.
