Jenik is a painter in the tradition of such visual theorists as Gorky, Kandinsky and Motherwell. Absorbing and processing a vast range of material, from ancient languages to modern painting movements, her works convey a sense of confidence over this broad spectrum of experience.
This tenet of Modernism has become fundamental to Jenik's work. Her often biomorphic shapes and lines, coupled with her bold use of color, infuse her paintings with richly exotic symbolism in the style or Miro or Leger. Adding depth to her artistic persona, Jenik is an accomplished ceramist who knew the noted artist Beatrice Wood. website.
