MY STORY
Jutta Anne Torres was born in West Germany in 1962 as an only child to a middle
class family, in the small town Guetersloh. She displayed her artistic talents early
in life, and her curriculum vitae literally spans the fifty plus years of her life. Her
liberal use of vibrant colours, to make canvases ‘spring to life’, immediately helps
to differentiate her work from others.
She continues to be prolific and has never dared to limit her choice of media to
more traditional ones, like oils on canvas, by expanding to woods, cork, metals,
leather and fabrics, aquarelles, oils on canvas and photography. Jutta has forged
meaningful alliances with other well known artists like James DeLa Vega, who
proudly displayed one of her wood series permanently in his East Village, NY
gallery. She has also had one of her larger canvasses displayed at the prestigious
NYC law firm Cleary Gotlieb Steen & Hamilton, located at One Liberty Plaza, New
York, NY. Cleary Gotlieb is a major corporate global firm which owns and
acquires important pieces of art.
Jutta consistently looks for new ways to apply her unique artistic visions as is evidenced by her expansion into the discipline of interior design. She has earned an interior design degree from Hunter College, NY and currently lives and works in Germany.
‘I have amassed well over 100 pieces of art throughout my life time and continue to be productive with new concepts and pieces as well. The media for my art transcends the usual oil on canvas and forays into using large pieces of wooden blocks, oils on leather, styrofoam, cork fabrics, seashells and a whole host of other natural material.’
Over recent years, she has developed a strong focus on social and society critical topics, expressing impressions throughout artwork.
‘I usually dream of my future artworks, slowly allowing unconscious feelings towards specific topics to surface. Once I have a clear grasp on those emotions, I start transforming them into something real.’
„I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream.”
Vincent Van Gogh
