I’m Jo Lenz. I paint when words run out.

I’m a Berlin-based visual artist, writer and poet. My works begin with instinct – a leftover surface, black ink on my fingers, a colour memory. Sometimes I try to go abstract. But shapes appear. Beings. Emotions. Fragments of something else. I follow them.

I don’t plan what appears.

Control would ruin it.
But I do audition my colour ghosts.
This one made it through callbacks.
Now it lives here.
