The inner images and bold colours Joanna Glazer incorporates in her work convey a sense of abundance, total immersion into life and optimism. In her paintings, she creates a space of beauty and paradise in the way that shows resilience and strength regardless of circumstances. Each painting is like a poem…, a life affirming experience.

All her work is also about sense of identity, search for it and hints as to where to find it. She finds her sources in fashion magazines, newspapers, books, art reviews, and advertising. Even a simple image in an everyday newspapers may awaken emotion.
