Juretzek's work is characterized by abstraction in the depiction of figures and landscapes.
In this respect, the object always remains percetible despite its strong abstraction.
Thus, in the 80s Juretzek created her first large figurative paintings, focussing on the relationship between human figure and space.
Later she used vessels as metaphors for human beings and she employed the motive of the source to symbolize life.
It was the first time that in these large-format works of art the painter made use of technique combining painting and collage.

Juretzek's journey to Japan in 1991 inspired her to introduce a new line of work produced on Japanese paper.
The artist turned to the theme of landscape and created a range of paintings in which she combined painting and collage with Japanese paper on canvas.
In these paintings revealing inner experience and scenic associations, Jurtzek created a new relation between color, light and space, exceeding the boundaries of informal painting.


The third line of works is composed of Juretzek's extensive thematic series of drawings.
A journey to the Lipari Islands in the early 1980s, inspired the painter to create ink drawings (Stromboli, Lilith, barrier landscapes, and others), the technique of which she has been using until today.
In addition, Juretzek  carried out numerous public commissions, such as the World Travel frieze of 1988 covering a length of 24 metres at the Federal Office Cologne-Chorweiler.
