| Your Personal Biography |
As a young girl, Margot always saw more in nature and around her than her friends did. She always wanted to express her imagination on paper, artifacts or any medium on which she could paint.
At the age of 17 she finally convinced her parents to let her pursue her passion and she enrolled in Interior Design at Sao Paulo’s best “School of Design” in her native Brazil. Four years later she attended the University “PUCC” in Campinas to study Art and two years later, transferred to the prestigious FAAP in Sao Paulo.
At that point Margot wanted her independence, and moved from her native Brazil to a place where art was light years ahead. She started in Nice, in the south of France, where she sharpened her skills as an artist and incorporated many different techniques in search of her own style and fulfillment. Two years later she moved to Paris and took several classes in painting and ceramics and ended up working with a well known designer. In the years to come, Margot would learn far more than mere painting. As Margot grew as a person, forming her own ideas and opinions, she also discovered that painting for her was trying to reach places she still had not seen with her own eyes, but could feel within her and believed was even still out there.
It was only a matter of time until this adventurous spirit took her on a tour of self discovery, touring the Mediterranean coast and the entire east coast of Africa. The lessons of life she learned, the raw beauty she saw, just fueled her need to run alongside nature…..in her paintings.
Margot exposed her paintings for the first time in Brazil in 1990 and was surprised and elated at the favorable response. Based on the amount of interest she received in Brazil, she decided her next step should be to come to the United States and make a name for herself. One year later she came to the US, attracted to the dream of opportunity and success.
Once in America, Margot took on a hectic job, working with interior decorators, creating a reality for other people’s dreams. She worked very hard and somehow became removed from her number one passion, the painting that she so loved. She still painted on her limited spare time, but it was not until last year that she decided to give up the hectic interior design career and return to her favorite means of expression: painting what she has seen throughout all these years.
Margot Jannes now lives in Miami and is sharing her latest artwork online and locally in South Florida. |
