Secret Stories: Paintings Between Light and Surface

About the Exhibition

Barbara Möllers' exhibition showcases five years of abstract paintings inspired by encounters with the sea, Asia, the expansive meadows of her native Lower Rhine region, her new home in Mastholte, and the people she meets. Through lines and surfaces, Möllers creates 'secret stories' that unfold uniquely in each viewer's perception. Her layered compositions explore how moods emerge, colors interact, and images transform over time. Using ink, watercolor, chalk, charcoal, oil and acrylic paints, she balances order and vitality, offering respite from our visually oversaturated world.

Karla Wagner Stiftung logo
"Linien und Farbflächen formen »geheime Geschichten«, die dem Betrachter Raum für eigene Empfindungen lassen."
Karla Wagner Stiftung — December 15, 2025
Neue Westfälische logo
"'Gedankengebilde' (Möllers) und fließende Farbstimmungen machen diese so abstrakt wie anziehend gestalteten Bilder aus den Jahren 2020 bis 2025 aus."
Neue Westfälische — December 27, 2025
Die Glocke logo
"Eine wesentliche Rolle spielen für Möllers die Farben. Mitunter arbeitet sie mit nur einem Farbton, variiert aber dessen Dichte und Nuancen. So schafft sie Spannung – stets eingebettet in ein harmonisches Gefüge."
Die Glocke — December 30, 2025
