About this artwork

The picture "A Moment in Time" shows a pool scene on a late summer evening in Maspalomas, a Spanish town on Gran Canaria. A forgotten swim ring slides on the water. The landscape, executed in oil painting, shows the ring in motion on the surface. The gentle rustling of the wind typical of the warm night becomes visible in the finely painted pool waves. The colors of nature are dazed by the ensuing darkness of their luminosity. Only the neon colors… of the swimming rings stand out clearly in the night piece. On a moonless night, the light of the stars is reflected more clearly in the water than on moonlit nights. A quiet moment arises. "ONLY THE LIGHT OF THE STARS IS REFLECTED IN A CALM POND" is a Chinese proverb that refers to the quiet moment and inner peace. It shows us that faster doesn't always have to be better. Where nothing is going on, peace and quiet can return and space for new things will be created.

« With human warmth, I try to translate the grandeur and the size of the cold, empty, and hostile universe into emotionally tangible paintings. »

Anne Wölk is a Berlin-based painter whose work explores the intersections of astronomy, speculative fiction, and contemporary landscape painting. With atmospheric color and precise lighting, she develops visionary topographies that straddle realism and imagination. She has had international solo exhibitions at the CICA Museum (South Korea) and the Casa da Cultura Ericeira Museum (Portugal). In 2025, her work was featured in the Herbstsalon of the Kunstverein Erlangen at the Kunstpalais and in the Casa da Cultura Ericeira's 2024 Retrospectiva. Her work will be published in 2025 in Issue 9 of Artsin Square magazine, curated by Galerie Droste. Wölk's painting emerges from the dialogue between scientific curiosity and the search for imaginary habitats beyond the known.
