"In this painting entitled Holiday Home (50 × 60 cm), Jean‑Marc Janiaczyk opens the doors to a Provençal retreat bathed in summer light. Painted with a palette knife, the texture crackles and dances; each expressive stroke sculpting the warm, fragrant air that drifts between the stone walls.
At the center of the composition stands a house with soft pastel shutters; its walls seem to breathe in the heat, wrapped in lush vegetation: fuchsia bougainvillea, slender cypress trees, and blooming bushes form a vibrant cradle of life and color. A gravel path leads the eye toward the entrance, promising a modest, cool, and welcoming interior.
The palette is a chromatic song; veils of gold, ochre, vivid greens, and touches of sky blue: the visual emotion is immediate, vibrant, solemn. The contrast between the stillness of the house and the vitality of the surrounding nature creates a poetic balance, where silence takes the shape of a breath, an invisible breeze stirring scents and shivers.
The endlessly blue sky suspends time; it casts a gentle light over the scene, revealing the generous texture of oil applied with the knife. Thus, the canvas captures the essence of a suspended moment: the promise of an eternal summer, the serenity of a haven far from the world's turmoil. A beautiful escape, an intimate refuge, a celebration of Provence and light as an antidote to the everyday.
In essence, Janiaczyk does not merely paint a house: he elevates an emotion, a sensory memory, the passage of time etched into the material. An invitation to pause, breathe, and simply exist."
