"When did you begin to work together?
Jana: I already was sketching and photographing all the time. Jean-Sébastien really wasn’t. But, weirdly, it was him who first demonstrated the stencil technique to me. JS: I learnt the technique in France, from the artist Artiste-Ouvrier. I had already wanted to work creatively for a long time, but I was always unlucky with my pieces. The stencil technique was perfect for me, it’s not an issue whether you can sketch or not, so long as your idea is a good one. In Madrid, I had seen this stenciled style in the Street Art all over the city; a lot of the images were done spontaneously, often with a political message..
...
Jana: The places we like the best are ones where you wouldn’t be expecting art. JS: In Paris, every wall has a piece of Street Art or a poster on it. It no longer offers up any surprises. For us, that made it an exciting challenge." - 2015 interview -
