"Body and Soul" are inextricably linked to the artist a whole. The pictures by Jutta Lenz swing, felt. Their colors are to confess. They give the pictures power, warmth and sincerity, but also melancholy and a touch of 'blues'. The illustrations are quaint bodied, staged musical impressions. Jutta Lenz has remained with her in figurative art, with the image.

A series of exhibitions and a series of workshops in Oaxaca / Mexico for the artist at important stations. The special effect of light in her paintings, she reaches with strong color and Tonwertkontrasten. Contrasts the artist feels as a confrontation, an effect easier to achieve aggressiveness.
