Möller’s paintings evolve from an ongoing dialogue between abstraction and landscape. Her works often draw from impressions of natural environments—underbrush, wetlands, fenced or cultivated landscapes—without aiming to depict them directly. Instead, she constructs imagined terrains defined by movement, colour and layered structures. These are places that feel familiar yet never resolve into a fixed scene, allowing viewers to enter a space shaped as much by intuition as by memory.
Her process begins on a flat surface, where she pours or throws acrylic paint onto the canvas. Gravity, fluidity and the physical momentum of the gesture determine the first structures of the image. She then continues with oil paint, adding lines, shapes and botanical suggestions—branches, foliage, rhythmic marks—that build density and depth. At times, paint is removed again, creating transparency and subtle transitions. The resulting surfaces carry traces of both construction and erosion.
Möller’s paintings resist literal interpretation. They do not aim to map nature but to evoke the shifting conditions of place: growth and decay, openness and enclosure, emergence and disappearance. Her work creates an atmospheric tension in which viewers can navigate their own associations.
She has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows across Germany, France, Austria, the Netherlands and the United States, and her work continues to expand through exchanges between the different landscapes and cultures in which she lives and works.
Her works will be on view and available through the Boutique Art Fair from November 22 to December 21, presented in collaboration with Galerie Laetitia Gorsy, Leipzig.
