The surrealism of Janiz's latest series of artworks coupled with the realism of her subjects creates an impactful combination, reflecting the palpable need to express. Janiz's common theme since she began painting full-time has been of women.

Despite painting women, Janiz maintains that she is not a feminist by excluding stereotypically feminine aspects in her artworks. Rather, one finds many antique and scientific elements such as foetus', birds and gramophones, and occasionally the grotesque in a writhing mass of legs or dog-man hybrid. She cites humanity as being the essence of all things and intends to convey action by depicting metamorphosis and karmic cause and effect in her artwork.

To Janiz, an open mouth with painted lips symbolizes the outlet for women to speak out. Along with the short-cropped hair and faces of her female figures, it is the consistent element in her quest to portray the issues that women wish to express whether personal, social or political. The minimal and pale colour palette serves to contrast with the stark reds.

Janiz sketches out her ideas before transferring them to canvas via oil paints. Most of the flora and fauna elements are referred from the Encyclopaedia of Illustration, adding a fantastical feel to her artworks and lending it a graphical quality that hints towards her Graphic Design background. This series is her decisive theme that encapsulates her artistic vision, which she hopes to communicate via sculpture in the near future.

She mentions Philippine artists as a great source of inspiration due to the highly expressionist themes and also admires the work of British figurative painter, Francis Bacon.
