Meditations in Colour
Jilli Darling June – Sept 2026
About the exhibition
Jilli Darling’s works explore her inner worlds through colour, shape, and gesture. Bold hues, soft transitions, and layered surfaces evoke shifting states of mind, as moods and daydreams unfold intuitively like a visual flow of thought.
Her practice is rooted in gesture and self-exploration, where each mark carries a sense of movement. She is particularly drawn to the layering of colour, where transparency and opacity interact to create depth, tension, and complexity. Each layer responds to the one before it, holding both contrast and harmony.
Through this ongoing interplay between gesture, colour, and material, she seeks to create spaces that invite attention and emotional resonance. Her hope is not to define meaning, but to open it up and encourage viewers to enter into their own imaginative response.
About the artist
Jilli Darling (aka Jill Castillo) is a visual artist born in Quezon City, Philippines. She has made Berlin her home and creative hub, carrying with her traces of her former lives in the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Ireland, and the UK. Trained in Fine Arts from a young age, she later earned a Bachelor of Design in Toronto and worked as a graphic designer before shifting to painting full-time.
She creates expressive, layered works using acrylics and oil sticks on canvas, while her digital pieces are playful experiments in form and color. Jilli has also created large-scale murals for WeWork and other creative spaces in Berlin.
Natürlicher Eskapismus (Natural Escapism)
Mascha Edokova Feb – June 2026
About the exhibition
Natürlicher Escapismus invites visitors to pause, listen and experience the works not only visually, but emotionally. The paintings move quietly between nature, light and memory, avoiding overt statements in favour of a gentler engagement with things that can be felt more easily than explained.
Mascha Edokova’s paintings are shaped by subtle interactions between light, water, sky and landscape. Her works occupy a space between reality and memory, documentary observation and dreamlike distortion, creating places where perception can open up and meaning can unfold gradually.
During the isolation of the first lockdown, Mascha Edokova began painting the view from her window, returning repeatedly to the same subject and perceiving it differently each time. This sustained act of looking developed into a meditative practice that continues to inform her work.
She often begins with photographs she has taken herself. Rather than treating them as fixed references, she uses them as starting points for a deeper exploration of memory, perception and inner landscape. As the painting develops, the photograph gradually recedes, allowing an internal image to emerge.
About the artist
Mascha Edokova (born in Murmansk, Russia) is a painter living and working between Berlin and the romantic Middle Rhine, with a sensitive eye for the poetic tensions between memory, nature, and the inner world.
Shaped by the rugged beauty of the Russian North and the sensual richness of Central Russia, she studied architecture and painting at the Moscow Architectural Institute (MARHI). After working in architecture, she moved to Germany in 2008, where she increasingly devoted herself to painting.
At the centre of her practice is an interest in what remains hidden or fleeting, searching for something truthful within the personal and universal, the delicate and the powerful.

A Dialogue with the Unknown
Marie Klingelhöfer July–Oct 2025
About the exhibition
The exhibition „A Dialogue with the Unknown”, a series of mixed media paintings by Marie Klingelhöfer.
Her style doesn’t follow a fixed path. Instead, she works intuitively, letting ideas develop through spontaneous gestures and layered materials. In a time of transition, these works reflect a state of fluidity, a visual dialogue between the conscious and the unseen.
Through daily painterly exercises, Marie explores the edges of form and meaning, opening up a space where the unfamiliar can take shape. Each piece invites the viewer into a quiet encounter with possibility and transformation.
About the artist
Marie Klingelhöfer currently lives and works in Berlin. Originally from France, she began her journey into the arts while studying art therapy. This experience sparked a deep exploration of her own creative voice, which she has continued to cultivate through further education with Thomas Kleemann and at various independent art academies.
Her artistic practice is also shaped by her intensive engagement with dance and movement, which inform both her process and thematic focus.
Marie works primarily in mixed media, with acrylic paint as her base. Where necessary, she incorporates additional materials such as stone flour, collage, crayon, charcoal, and inks, layering texture and gesture to create emotionally resonant compositions.
