Gold Leaf Artwork

Janice Clements ABIPP ICA Janice Clements (Alamanou) specialises in Fine Art Painting and Photography. From the Pandemic Janice began to change her media to include painting. Restriction on movement but still with the passion to create made her start to think of new ways to express her art. After a train of thought and learning she is now experimenting with painting in acrylic and oils. Janice began young though, her photographs captured at the age of 12 are published in the book ‘A Personal Account of Time & Tide’ - an insight into the destruction and devastation of tidal surges on the North Norfolk Coast, including her home - twice. Her passion for photography flowed into adulthood where the depiction of coastal scenes began to expand to include people, portraiture and fine art nudes. On first becoming professional she tried many different paths, weddings - published in magazines, family portraiture, commercial and product photography - all gaining her skills and experience but she was always drawn back and found fine-art the most fulfilling. She now specialises only in Fine Art - her images include ‘Landscape’ with her award winning ‘The White Collection’ and her unique original ‘Photography with Precious Metals’, hand gilded with 24ct gold, palladium and copper. Also ‘Street’ and ‘Portraits of Interest’ - images that intrigue her with difference or meaning. The ‘Soul Elements’ collection, the natural step from her passion with environment and people, comprise of Janice’s photographs amalgamated together - everything within the piece is photographed by her - making the piece unique to her work. Each, having subtle meaning for the viewer to interpret. I create my photography from life experiences. I stop to 'breathe in' what is in front of me and how I wish to portray it. My style varies because of this and also because of what might be happening in my own life at the time and how this affects my interpretation and creation of the piece. I use a mixture of beauty with sorrow. Using only images unique and created by myself. Janice is now an award winning member of the BIPP (British Institute of Professional Photography), and has exhibited internationally. Exhibitions include London, Paris & Cannes, Madrid & Barcelona, New York, Geoje - South Korea, Melbourne - Australia, Florence, Sicily & Rome, Montreux, Vienna, Innsbruck & Nr Vienna.
