Parallel to her oil paintings, Jana Zimova draws landscapes in Japanese ink and in oil sketches on paper, but for her they are never just landscapes. She works with the landscape symbolically: mountains, the sea with its ebb and flow, water and its reflections, fire, and trees — solitary broken but still growing, carry meanings of their own, and behind every landscape hides a story. The drawings are highly detailed yet free and full of movement and life — a traditional craft with energy, where everything breathes. Each drawing stands on its own, but many also become studies and exercises for her paintings.
