Every Artist
Has a
Unique Vision
that
Guides her Work
My creative fount is deeply rooted in the principles of Modern Art, which celebrates the beauty of simplicity, the power of intensity, and the honesty of direct expression. The artist and philosopher of art, Robert Motherwell, has profoundly shaped my artistic journey.
As the world slumbers, I rise before the first light of dawn,
my mind teeming with inspiration. I witness the daybreak as it dances on the surface of the pond outside my window, and then I surrender to the calling of my muse. The exhilaration of immersing myself into the vibrant layers, rich texture, and profound depth of each image is an enchanting spell that beckons me back to my studio every day.
Art has a way of triggering thoughts and sparking dialogues, and I am enamored by such pieces. I have a habit of giving my works a title that acts as a conversation starter, inviting spectators to weave their own tales and sentiments into the canvas. As my artistic journey unfolds with each passing year, the unquenchable thirst to create, interpret, and share remains my constant companion. - Melissa Erlenbach
