In the warm morning light, Jeanette Hennum finds the soul and energy in things and nature. Her still lifes gently capture and preserve the colors, beautiful hues and character of the objects for the eternal story. A mirror to a past moment in dreamy play of light or reality. Hennum's compositions are well balanced and allow the thing to be in single focus. In calm and harmony, the object makes the viewer tie back to its origin. Born in Norway, Jeanette Hennum studied painting in Oslo and has had exhibitions in the Nordics since the 90s. Hennum's work adorns the luxury cruiser Radisson Seven Seas Voyager. She follows in the footsteps of the old Dutch masters with imagery and technique but lets her own character and interior shine through the motifs.

For Jeanette Hennum, ancient things are filled with soul and energy. With reverence, she takes care of the essence of the old objects and gives them eternal life on the canvas.
Jeanette wants to evoke a beautiful, harmonious, and calm feeling in the viewer. She uses the classical still life symbolism of sins and death but in a modern and more minimalistic interpretation without the abundance of objects.
The oil paintings are created with many thin layers of paint on top of each other. Each careful brushstroke brings the motif one step closer to perfection. Jeanette Hennum's paintings are technically well-crafted crafts that are created over a long period of time. Canvases and paints are of the highest quality to carefully depict and preserve the objects.
"OLDER EVERYDAY OBJECTS LINK PEOPLE TO THEIR ORIGIN. COPPER VESSELS REMIND ME OF GRANDMA AND MAKE ME NOSTALGIC. I WANT TO MAKE REALITY BEAUTIFUL IN ALL ITS ORDINARYNESS.”

Still life as an art style was popularized by the old Dutch masters during the Renaissance. The newfound interest in enlightenment and science made artists move from religious motifs to immortalizing objects and nature. During her art studies, Jeanette Hennum discovered the masters Willem Kalf, Claesz Heda and Chardin, who have since influenced her still life style.
