Jutta Depis, a Greek artist, born in Germany has been established in Corfu since 1994. Jutta’s deep-felt preference to express herself on the canvas is achieved through her careful selection of colours which are then masterfully transformed into abstract impressions inspired by her creative mood and interpretation of her physical surrounds and life experiences. While Jutta regularly uses acrylic paints on the canvas, she experiments with different painting mediums and techniques. The resulting abstract and impressionistic paintings burst with astonishing, distinct colours. With experimentation with various masonry and kitchen tools Jutta produces unusual textures on the canvas which amplify her innate colour blending techniques. Jutta’s ability to select and blend colours are evidenced in each of her paintings. Irrespective of an art lover’s preferred painting style, one will conclude that Jutta possesses an extremely rare skill to blend colours and evoke emotions in each painting.
Jutta’s ability to select and blend colors are evidenced in each and every one of her paintings. Jutta is constantly captured by colors seen in nature as well as colors which depict a momentary feeling or mood from her daily life. As seen in several of her paintings, she has drawn inspiration from great impressionists, such as Monet. However, her talent of color blending is perfectly captured in her abstract works which reflect her ability to communicate a specific mood, scene or feeling.
In addition, Jutta is regularly inspired to paint based on specific themes. For example, she painted a series of women which evoke their natural beauty and momentary mood, that which is sometimes inspired by her own personal experiences or feelings at the time. Jutta’s love of the brilliant and unique colors found in the Ionian Sea region have inspired her to create paintings which reflect the endless spectrums of blue seen both above and beneath the sea’s surface. Irrespective of an art lover’s preferred painting style, most will agree that Jutta possesses an extremely rare skill to blend colors and evoke emotions in each of her paintings.
Transformation: Coloration Expert to Expert Painter
Jutta is a self-trained artist. Her original inspiration to paint dates back to the early 1990’s, however she did not pursue this passion in earnest until recently. In 2017, Jutta’s close friend accepted her wager to paint a medusa (jellyfish) far superior to that of a medusa painting which her friend had just bought for a handsome price from an accomplished artist. Undisputedly, Jutta won that bet! But it was not until a few years later during the infamous “Covid-19” confinement that she had the time to finally produce numerous paintings. While Jutta’s painting career was only recently launched, she is well known in Corfu and Athens for her expertise in hair coloration and she still owns and operates a highly reputable beauty salon in Corfu town. Prior to Corfu, Jutta spent four successful years working for Wella Greece based in Athens during the early 1990’s training beauty salon practitioners and promoting Wella’s beauty and hair products. In 1994, she launched a hair and beauty salon in Corfu. This salon quickly established itself as the most prominent hair salon in Corfu for its innovative expertise in hair treatment and especially coloration. Her talent with colors and how to blend them was clearly revealed during her early 20’s during her time with Wella and presently with the clients of her salon. Jutta’s raw talent in selecting and blending colors has evolved over many years and is now beautifully on display in each of her paintings. The paintings are authentic expressions of Jutta’s talent, creativity and passion to arrange colors on canvas.
