Capturing the mesmerizing dance of the northern lights through a bold, surreal lens. Vibrant ribbons of crimson, magenta, and electric lime twist and flow across a deep indigo sky, their undulating forms glowing with an almost otherworldly energy. Below, a mirrored lake reflects the celestial spectacle, while stylized trees and organic, jewel-toned shapes line the shore—blending reality with abstraction. The painting’s high-contrast palette and fluid, dreamlike composition create a hypnotic, immersive scene that feels both familiar and strangely alien, inviting viewers into a luminous, fantastical northern night.

Bärbel received her training through self-study and attending Alberta University of the Arts. She has travelled from coast to coast capturing the colours, light, and joy in her depiction of the Canadian landscape; focusing on the emotive use of colour and line – erasing details and infusing her spiritual vision.
"I create lyrical semi-abstract landscape paintings using acrylic or oil. I strive to see beyond the busy surface and interpret the light, colours and shapes of this numinous land. While my paintings are inspired by on-site plein-air sketches; the final result approaches the realm of surrealism."
