Jana Schröder is a German abstraction artist.
She studied at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art and lives and works in Düsseldorf.
Jana Schröder creates paintings that are largely driven by the movement of the paint itself. The result is multilayered labyrinths of webbing, in which elements of automatic writing and winding brushstrokes intertwine to guide the viewer's wandering gaze.
