Janneke Leenders was born in 2003 in Roermond, the Netherlands. She comes from a scientific background and has experience in the theatre in dance and set design. After moving to Rome in 2021 she has been active within the art world; moving all the boundaries of what she has known and exploring new grounds. In 2025 she finished the BA in Fine Arts at RUFA (Rome University of Fine Arts).
In her practice she explores the traces of life that hide in the absurdity of the lifeless abstract by the use of different mediums in an alleged way to create a distant sense of something vital.
She does so by using the immersive values that installation offers in combination with the reapplication of more traditional mediums through a contemporary lens.
