The work of Jan Sikora reflects his own personal visions of unearthly alien landscapes, mixed with his perceptions of what our world would de like after a cataclysmic disaster. His own personal journey through a sort of different space time continuum, where everything is dead and decaying.

In his work, he often combines gnarled roots or tree limbs, stones, ashes and other materials, taking their distorted forms and giving them new life and meaning by their placement in a totally strange environment.

The dramatic atmosphere of his work is emphasized by the use of these forms with their detailed micro-structure, contrasted against the subdued use of lighting on the canvas together with subtele cloud forms or ethereal sphare like structures.

This surrealistic work expresses the fears of an individual who is desparately seeking the meanings behind creation and existence, in a hostle and impersonal cosmos.

Sometimes he returns to earth and portrays well know places and landmarks in the aftermath of some cataclysmic event, where the grotesque distortions and transformations they have undergone heighten the effect of despair and loneliness.

In his later years he has taken many well know mythical Greek, Roman and Biblical motifs and incorporated them into his alien worlds, not only to show the importance of mythological ties in our modern society, but also to emphasize the corruption and decadence of our over- commercilised “fast food” culture.

At the same time he is also experimenting with a parallel abstract art form, where with the use of dramatic textures and forms, he is trying to express the conflict he feels within himself and his surroundings, while at the some time trying to reach some unifaing compromise of all these contradictory forces.

Sometimes the artist takes inspirations from nature and he transforms it in full emotion art composition.
