To be like water, without form, able to adapt to all circumstances—this is the ideal of the Berlin-based artist moki. In her paintings, she meanders between timeless escapism and confrontation with the issues of our time. Fiction and reality are blurred in her detailed acrylic paintings. Like a researcher, she explores the subtleties of color in the green-blue spectrum and creates her own cosmos in which the longing for symbiosis becomes visible. Supplemented by numerous texts and an interview, Meander brings together her paintings from 2014 to 2023.

Visual artist moki has been participating in international exhibitions since 2004. The focus of her work is painting. She also works with various media. She has received several awards for her graphic novels & children's books.
