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 an artist who works in a number of mediums, I immerse myself in the world of creation, transcending the boundaries of traditional art forms. My journey through art is not confined to a single path; I am a painter, a sculptor, and enamelist. The principles of abstract expressionism, which allows me to channel my unique aesthetic across many mediums.

 

My work embodies my innermost thoughts, feelings, and attitudes. Each stroke of the brush, curve of metal, and fusion of enamel is a silent conversation between the art, its viewer, and myself. My work does not aim to simply represent; it seeks to resonate and evoke, to invite the audience into a realm of introspection and emotion. Through my art, I aspire to create an immersive experience that is both original and engaging, touching the spirit of those who encounter it. As my artistic journey unfolds with each passing year, the unquenchable thirst to create, interpret, and share remains my constant companion. - Melissa Erlenbach
