About Melanie
My work represents a deep spiritual connection with Nature and the Universe. Some friends and collectors have described my art as abstract realism; mostly they experience my work with a sense of spirituality. They say; "There is a sense of connecting to something beyond this world." I feel this to be true. Every work process is an experience of unique exploration and a process of discovering and meeting the totally unexpected.
The viewer's experience of my work is one that reflects a feeling of space and mood instead of cognitively recognizing specific places or things: "One gets the sense of other worldly and mystery, something beyond our daily experience." And yet the subject matter is often found in everyday life. The timeless beauty of Mother Nature.
I love colour. I love the emotional content and reflection found in colour. I love exploring with new colour combinations; the endless inspiration again coming from the natural world. I love the fact that my process of art making and colour exploration, being a form of meditation, results in awakening the viewers imagination, giving them the chance to connect with their quiet, contemplative inner self.
Time stops in my world when I enter the art making process. Therein begins a deep healing, an energizing and timeless dreamlike state, induced only by the colour and changing form and texture flowing over the canvas. I watch in awe as colours blend to form new hues and depths, lights and reflections. I watch as new forms emerge and retract, as Beings from other dimensions dance in and out, and on and off my canvas.
At a point, once I have reached that deepest place of trust, I am no longer required to be the observer. I move away from being the guided artist. I am asked to look with new eyes and to respond more intuitively. In this moment I am honored to become the creative servant.
So you can understand then, that these works are not preconceived. I don't re-create images from photographs or "real" landscapes, models or still life; unless perhaps I am practicing my drawing skills. Instead my works are formed and evolve into reality as part of a spiritual and intuitive process.
I believe the greatest masterpiece of all is a life well lived. I wish to live fully and to connect deeply. I wish to be true to my soul. This is my art.
Melanie Meyer, Artist ..... Endlessly, inspired and taught by nature; held and nurtured by God; awakened and guided by Spirit.
