Janis Baer

I am a self-taught artist with a passion for realistic drawing in charcoal and graphite. Light, shadow, and fine detail are at the heart of my black-and-white work. Mallorca is not only my home but also a daily source of inspiration that flows into many of my pieces.
Pure Joy
DRAWING
Charcoal
20,5 cm x 29,1 cm
Description: “Pure Joy” is a unique, hand-drawn portrait created exclusively with charcoal pencil on high-quality Bristol paper. It captures the unfiltered happiness and lightness of a child’s laughter, a moment reminiscent of the warm, carefree atmosphere of a summer day in Mallorca. Delicate tonal work and soft shading lend the piece both depth and radiance. The white border of the generously sized paper further enhances the image’s visual presence. Inspiration: Created in Mallorca


The Gaze of Time
DRAWING
Charcoal
20,8 cm x 29,1 cm
“The Gaze of Time” – Drawn in Mallorca, this charcoal portrait reflects the quiet strength and wisdom of a life well lived. Every line speaks of experience, every shadow of time passed. Created with care and simplicity, it invites the viewer to pause, to see not just a face, but a story. Exhibited in New York and Mallorca, The Gaze of Time was born on the island and continues to carry its spirit.
