CV
Janja Kosi
Janja Kosi (1994, Maribor) studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, where she also obtained her Bachelor's Degree in 2016 and her Master's Degree in 2020. She spent some of her study time at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig. She participated in several solo in group shows.
Spatial installations and the integration of different mediums characterise her practice. In her work, she often explores the concepts of (non) space, home and homeliness, and the relationship between man and architecture.
