The journey itself is valuable. Its value lies in the experience along the way, not just in the moment of arrival.
The picture shows a moment just before reaching a viewpoint. The destination lies immediately ahead. The moment just before the destination is filled with anticipation. Most of the effort is behind you; the next step promises a rewarding view of the valley. Nevertheless, the path already reveals much that is worth noticing: light on stones, shimmering warmth, cool blue in the daylight, wind on the skin, tranquillity, vastness, emptiness, grasses, a tree as a waymark. This section of the path forms a moment in its own right, even before the view comes into view.
Many goals in life consist of phases. You work towards something, achieve it, and then something new begins. Those who focus solely on reaching their destination easily overlook the time in between. It is precisely there that the quiet moments lie, moments that give rise to meaning and contentment even before anything has been achieved. The journey itself already has value, because growth, experience and meaning arise whilst walking, and not just at the end.

Melissa Faltermeier
of
Regensburg. It was there that I discovered my love of landscape painting. In particular, during the painting excursions I regularly took part in, I developed a deep connection with nature and a passion for the diversity of colours that we often fail to notice in everyday life. I often lose myself in the many facets of nature and observe it with a discerning eye.
In my works, which are predominantly created using acrylic paint, I aim to highlight and exaggerate the variety of colours that can be discovered in nature upon close observation. In doing so, I alter the colours and consciously transform them to create unique atmospheres of colour and light. Despite these alterations, it is of great importance to me to keep
the forms true to what can be observed and to nature
. Through the manipulation of colours, I often succeed in creating mystical, dark, stormy and dynamic colour schemes. My choice of tranquil subjects, such as solitary trees or distant cloudscapes, harmonises perfectly with a dynamic choice and application of colour. As a result, my landscapes are both serene and dynamic and wild. They are characterised by contrasts between light and dark, between gloom and vibrant colours.
Through my unique colour and light atmospheres, my distortions of reality and my constant artistic development, I set myself apart from other landscape painters. My works offer the viewer a special artistic experience, immersing them in a world full of unique moods and sensations.
