”The human form, born of paint, in continual metamorphosis,
Nicola Barth creates Metamorphoses in oil - physical and full of life.”
”As if there stands before me a human form, born of paint, in a state of constant, breathtaking metamorphosis” ( Dr. Roland Held)
Vigour and expressive tenseness. Figurative associations that are evocative of organic or geological processes. Cryptic titles such als ”Tso Nadin Namie ” or ”Honorarlos Badi Neo” that are meant to resonate rather than be understood. Paintings that present more questions than answers.This is an apt description of Nicola Barth´s ( living) creations.
Nicola Barth is a painter who occasionally forays into the world of physical 8sculpture) and digital ( photography) . She mainly paints in oil on paper and canvas an she loves to paint in large formats. Ideas about morphology, the spirit, matter, energy, insights, transformation, time and space accompany her works and are also what spurs her on.
My paintings emerge from an internal dilemma. It is not possible to comprehend the world completely. I therefor paint what i don’t understand but crave to understand.
”As an artist, one is always a seismograph travelling through the world with one´s tentacles fully spread and ready to absorb experiences. My paintings are snapshots of processes of development, comparable with a film clip that only depicts a randomly chosen and minuscule part of a very large entirely.”
Nicola Barth works have been nominated for various art awards and have beeb on show in numerous ( curated) individual an group exhibitions in Germany and abroad over the last few years.

”There is actually a world behind this world. As a philosophy without words, I try milk glass permeability“

Nicola Barth lives and works in Germany near Frankfurt am Main. She completed her master’s degree in German language and literature, theatre, film and television studios, and psychology at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt. She always thought about writing books, but soon she put her pen out of her hand and picked up a brush to find new forms of expression. Words were no longer sufficient to describe what she was dealing with: permanent metamorphic processes in non-obvious areas. Her paintings can be understood as a short visual light that gives insight into a temporally and spatially limited section of a development process. Movements remain frozen in a gesture without being still. Painting and drawing mainly in graphite and oil are complemented by three-dimensional works and digitally manipulated photography. The content follows the same principle and is as abstract and surreal as her paintings. She regularly attends courses at art academies, and her works were shown at the Hessische Landeskunstausstellung in Marburg, the Museum Modern Art in Hün-feld, Museum Theo Kerg and others.
