She and her work are wonderful. Her work is on par with the other great abstract expressionists. So deserving of recognition!

What an inspiration. Keep creating.

92? My gawd, you inspire me. I am an artist who chose to have a family, raising kids and making art professionally limits you but no regrets. Now I am almost 60 and wondering if its just to late to finally go for it and just do what I have been called to do my whole life. I think you may have answered that question for me. Thank you Jean.

You can do it! Monet said he really started to get going in his 60's, using all the knowledge and observations he had accumulated over time.

Please do it!!! It is so scary at first, you have so many experiences, love, and feelings - let it out on the canvas! Don’t be afraid.

I'm 70, and starting over after a house fire destroyed my entire portfolio of 65 years' artwork last summer. Please take a leap of faith in yourself... Time is Art🎨💫

Same here. What an inspiration this beautiful lady has been for so many of us. So happy to have decided to click on this video.❤

Good for her! Go Jean, GO! Your paintings ROCK! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

One of the aspects of your abstract paintings which is so appealing and soothing to me is how you have large areas for the eyes to rest. This is the mark of a successful abstract in my opinion. Plenty of action with places for the eyes to take a break.

Wow! Your art is fabulous…so bold and powerful! And YOU…such an inspiration. I’m 83 and feel energized seeing this video and hearing your story. You motivate me to keep at it. Wishing you many more years of painting enjoyment!

Absolutely powerful art! Georgeous!!!

She is surely an inspiration for every artist.

I know what you mean, Jean...sometimes I start out with a definite idea of what the painting will be, but the painting tells me otherwise...you have to be a creative person to understand that process. I Love your beautiful work!! ❤

I am no where near your age Jean, but oftentimes get despondent when I see submissions requesting only people up to 35! At that age my art was nowhere as good as it is now. I feel one matures artistically with the years - like an old cheese. I will try to remember you when I feel bad about my age. You art is fantastic. So strong and vibrant. May I say happy? Even the dark ones. Go well. M

Jean's work is incredible, I love it. It is also inspiring to know one can keep on painting to such an age! Thank you!

God bless you and your husband- so inspiring! 🥰

Theyre fantastic, good job!! 💖💖💖

I love your paintings, they are really strong. I hope to be as blessed as you when I'm your age.

What an inspiration! I hope to be one of those grey-haired old ladies of Gloria Steinem's quote who take over the world. But first let's inspire it with our art, like Jean! This is so expressive and full of life!

I love her work and her so much!! 👏👏❤

She is absolutely incredible I love this work she is my artistic soul person ❤

WOW, Jean, WOW. I really understand that we artists do keep evolving with our work with each passing day. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and incredible artistic outputs. Raymond is also amazing with making your frames!!! 😊

I love Jeans art and i love her humility❤

Fantastic artwork. Brilliant. Great stuff

Thank you for your video. You are a beautifully talented artist.

What a fulfilling life you have! Wonderful!

Such an inspiration. I hope people who haven’t will study more about abstract art and keep viewing it. Jean is one reason why.

Amazing paintings.

.. God bless your soul...

wow, I love her "Precious (film)" painting, which talks to my soul. she's amazing! Also only 5 minutes she takes to get her focus back from a distraction! when I take 1 day sometimes,....

Gorgeous paintings and so inspriring!!!! Thank you Jean Banas for your lovely work and sharing your studio with us :) As an abstract expressioinist WOMAN painter, it is ridiculous to think that ART is only a man's domain (still). Classic infuriating sexism. Thank you for being you JEAN and doing your dymanic paintings. You deserve all the attention! Xo

Wonderful! Inspiring and profound.

Inspiring! Brilliant work.

You guys are great. I like your art. ❤

Being creative can be frustrating process. Awesome attitude , love it

Excellent work!

I'm deeply impressed by your art and your energy, Jean! Your paintings in this video make me want to see more of your work immediately. Thanks and all my best wishes to you! ❤

Very inspiring on many levels. And very dynamic paintings.

Dear Jean, it feels like yesterday…I miss you so much! What a great honnor and you deserve every bit and moment of it!

Jean’s work is very good. Fabulous 🎉

Outstanding 🎉❤

Thank you Jean, truly inspirational ❤

Very inspiring artist story for the youngest ones

❤ what an inspirational lady, wonderful

92 wow what an inspiration. Great stuff ! You do NOT look your age.

A BEAUTIFUL couple!❤

Much love Jean! Thank yiu!

❤🧡💛💚💙You are an inspiration!

It's so great. ❤💛

amazing! very inspiring!

I wish I had a book of all her paintings because a few seconds glance is not enough.

Lovely couple ❤beautiful and strong paintings❤❤

love this!

Oh my god.. 💛✅

Am I jealous or what! You go girl! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You have my admiration.

I like her work. I use acrylic so easy to paint abstract but oil is hard because it does not dry fast. I understand her and I too tackle with my paintings. Glad she has a friend husband.

I wish I had a painting to live with...or two, or three...

she is fantastic.

Good for you.

💞

good to see marxist art coming from a 92 year old. warms the heart.

very Miriam Cahn, regarding subject matter

Good for her. I'm not trying to be mean or disrespectful, but why are her paintings exceptional? It's definitely not my cup of tea, but I've always been curious as to what people see in this type of abstract art that makes them think these are beautiful paintings.

Wharever floats your boat.

Why would anyone make such a stupid ignorant comment about this work!! > "a young man" really wtf is wrong with people.

De Kooning once said that there was a lot of creativity in the act destruction.

What’s the point of?

Done this stuff myself but now I feel there is no…zero…nix…reason to paint another abstract painting…period.

Shes 92? She doesnt look a day over 65

Sono io con la cagarella

Sorry i don't call it art,maybe it's just me.

I absolutely disagree, but it makes sense to me that people think this way. It’s pretty obvious really. I encourage anyone who thinks like this, to try and do it themselves. I think you’ll find, that it takes much longer than you’d think, and that your first results will come off as just tacky and uninteresting. You can most often see in a painting, whether or not the creator actually gave a shit.

My God, how absolutely absurd! She needs a visit to the Rijks to see what the real deal is. I am an artist almost her age, but I believe that art should be a positive gift to others. It , definitely should not be about the artist and their pity party. That is the false ego speaking. Art is the spiritual emotion that comes from realms unknown. It is the poetry from “the Cloud of Unknowing,” Abstraction is nothing but a chaotic grievance that happens to be in paint. Watch that type paint.. they go from table to canvas just doing anything.. inanity
