Jana & JS are an acclaimed artistic duo composed of Austrian artist Jana and French artist Jean-Sébastien Philippe. Working together since 2006, they have developed a distinct visual language that merges photography, stencil techniques, and street art. Their creative partnership began in Madrid and later flourished in Paris and Austria, allowing them to refine a style that is both intimate and expansive.

Their work primarily focuses on the human condition, often depicting people in moments of quiet reflection or vulnerability. These figures are frequently portrayed holding cameras or interacting with urban landscapes, emphasizing themes of observation and the passage of time. One of the most recognizable aspects of their practice is the integration of their subjects into the existing architecture. They do not merely paint on a wall; they interact with its texture, windows, and structural elements to create a sense of depth and narrative.

The duo utilizes highly detailed multi-layered stencils based on their own photography. This process allows them to achieve a realistic, almost melancholic aesthetic that stands out in the often loud and vibrant world of contemporary muralism. By placing their subjects in unexpected urban settings, they bridge the gap between private emotions and public spaces. Over the years, their murals have appeared in cities across the globe, and their smaller scale works on reclaimed wood and metal have been featured in numerous international galleries. Their art remains a poignant exploration of how individuals inhabit and perceive the modern world.
