Magical watercolors: Discover nature in Marzahn-Hellersdorf!
The opening of the exhibition “Magic Moments in Watercolor and Pastel” by the artist Bärbel Steining is taking place in Berlin today. Amid the impressive backdrop of nature, Steining draws her inspiration to create emotional and colorful works. From the quiet moments on a lake to the annual migration of cranes in late autumn – her images capture the diversity of nature. The exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to take a walk through the birdlife and experience the beauty of the landscape.
Bärbel Steining's works are characterized by a balanced combination of realistic representation and abstract compositions. Predominantly created using watercolor and pastel techniques, the images invite you to discover nature, appreciate it and promote its protection. “The works are not only art, but also a message for the preservation of nature,” says the artist.
