This versatile artist is not only engaged in painting but also works with sculpture, spatial installations and mosaics. His talent knows no bounds! His work is part of many projects, including theatre and radio on Študent, making him even more fascinating.

Janez Grošelj is a Master of Architecture who decided to trade building plans for playing with light. Once a designer of architectural blueprints, he now dives into the world of light art, creating magical and intimate experiences.

Since then, his creative spirit has shone brightly under the auspices of the festival, where he has created captivating projects such as Utrip drevesa (The Pulse of the Tree), which won hearts both locally and internationally, and Valoskop, which brings a new dimension to the experience of light.

In addition to his artistic career, Janez enjoys sharing his knowledge and experiences with others. As a mentor in workshops, he inspires and encourages new talents eager to explore the world of light and art.
