This ‘ancestress’ is a beautiful example of the craftsmanship of Hans Janssen. The stoneware body of the sculpture is covered in various metal powders that have been sprayed with ammoniac and hydrochloric acid. An experimental process with a beautiful and distinct appearance. The glass headdress gives the figure dignity and status. His inspiration comes from ancient cultures, science fiction and the occult. Hans Janssen always went his own way, without any commercial compromise. His techniques are largely self-taught and the result of many years of experimenting. Recent developments are interactive glass paintings and wall sculptures.
