Janae Corrado

The narratives within my artwork reflect the fragile balance of life and death with a fusion of personal experience and mythos. I have two separate bodies of work that I am currently exploring.

​

My vanitas series, like many of those within art history, is a symbolic work of art showing the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death. Rather than incorporating symbols of wealth, I focus on symbols of ephemerality (flora, insects). The series is also about rebirth - we are never truly "gone" once we pass, our spirit and energy are reborn within all those we touch.

My insect tessellation series opens the eyes of the viewer to the smallest of our animal kingdom.
