Prefabricated lighting objects and installations with an emphasis on industrial look; on the one hand an almost purist's purity of forms at times, with a dystopian and sometimes almost cyberpunk aesthetic and unexpected DIY-style on the other. His thoughtful design concept is mixed with intuition, with processes based on controlled chance and spontaneous interventions. He treats light as a colour, but he doesn't shy away from it and uses it in an almost action-like way - prints, dripping, slashes. He has a fondness for neon and old industrial components, whether they are light boxes, tubes of fluorescent lamps, or elements of factory furnishings. The combination of these serves not only to effectively shape his work, but above all to emotionally transform reality and its experience.

The key to Jan Soumar's paintings is Back into the Reality (2021). Here, reality is its own substance for visual and semantic reassessment. The artist paints from memory fragments of figures and landscape passages, which he collages into a single format together with modernist innovations that replace the clarity of illusory space and transform it into an abstract, sensual or, to use contemporary language, experiential environment.
