Jolanda Walther shows an intensive engagement with painting, a passionate joy in experimentation and the search for new techniques and insights, new possibilities for image design. Her works reflect a big diversity of motifs and technical implementation; the artistic means are used in an enormous breadth. The Artist shows herself from two sides: It is less the two faces like that of the ancient Roman god Janus, but rather two aspects of her painting, which she needs and uses to satisfy her urge for artistic realization and to convey it to the outside world. On the one hand she is a very spontaneous painter, which can be seen in her watercolours. They tell a lot about their energetic working days, when they quickly and skilfully apply the thin, fast flowing paint to the partially watered paper. The “sometime seen” is painted as if she just wanted to leave fleeting traces “in passing, au passant” across the sheet with the brush and paint, as if she hadn't had time to stay longer. For Jolanda Walther, this type of painting reflects our age, everything passes quickly, one has no time to pause, to stand still. The oil and acrylic painting are the second side of Jolanda Walther. In contrast to the quick application of the watercolour, she can take her time with the oil or acrylic, she applies the paint layer by layer to the canvas, can improve it, paint over the whole thing again, even completely. You don't have to be afraid of doing something wrong here, you can correct the emerging picture at any time. She can relax, think – meditate. The human being is often in focus of her work. Whether as an individual, in a group or in a crowd, the artist expresses a wide variety of perceptions and feelings With her skill, hard work and curiosity, Jolanda Walther manages to create a wide variety of compositions that contain a high level of intensity and yet appear light, almost weightless. She says that painting every day takes a lot of energy and sometimes wears her down because she is constantly searching and is often tormented by doubts.

Statement
The first writers were the painters and sculptors of the Stone Age! The author who writes a book needs his imagination, a piece of paper, a pencil and many, many written words to take us, the readers, on a journey. The painter who paints a picture needs his imagination, a sheet of paper, paints, brushes, but he lacks the many, many words to tell us his thoughts. They should engage with the idea that the picture you paint is the window to your soul and that you express your feelings not in words but in pictures.
