Original artwork description:

This is one of two paintings I created based on my impressions from a week-long hike in Turkey (Lycian Hiking Trail) near the Taurus Mountains. This painting combines impressions of a remarkable landscape with wild red tulips in a fairytale-like forest, magnificent rock formations, a breathtaking view of the sparkling sea, and the exertions of a demanding tour on often soggy ground.

At the time, I hesitated between titling the small series “Lycian Way” or “Lyrical Hiking Trail” and then decided on the latter, as poetry, just like this hiking experience, evoked a lot of emotions and moods, as did the rhythm of the meditative steps it took to master the steep climbs.

Incidentally, the two pictures also fit perfectly as a diptych.
About me:
I spent my childhood and youth on a farm. It was a picture-perfect life. Endless fields surrounded our family home, with grass so tall that little Jutta was swallowed up by it like an impenetrable jungle. But there was also a lot of work for us three children to do. I loved haymaking: the smell of dried grass, hot summer days, and our father's talent for turning this strenuous work into a game with a competition made it almost fun.

Even throughout my school career, I was repeatedly recognized for my artistic talent.

Everything I do in painting today is characterized by intuition and concentration on the result. When I paint, there is only the now, the present moment. And that can be very challenging. It demands my complete attention; it wants to be well represented. The moment can come easily and be kind to me, but it can also feel difficult and admonishing: Is this really the best you can do? This is the challenge I set myself with every painting: I want to improve from painting to painting, to give the canvas the expression that you, the viewer, deserve.
