At the moment, many ‘last times’ still feel quite ordinary.
The row of trees on the opposite bank lies dark and dense against the evening’s last light. Bright reflections shimmer on the water, whilst streaks of light keep appearing amongst the leaves, trunks and sky. For a brief moment, everything seems to light up once more before the light fades and the place grows dark.
In the evening, the light slowly fades. Within a few minutes, the place changes and will never look quite the same again.
Many ‘last times’ in life we only recognise in hindsight. A meeting, a visit or an afternoon spent together feels quite ordinary at first. Later, we realise that it was the last time before something changed.
The fading light reminds us of such moments. Something is still there, even as it is already slipping away. Only later do we understand why that particular moment was so important. Because we rarely know which moment will be the last, even familiar and taken-for-granted moments deserve our attention.
Technique / Material
Acrylic on wooden panel in a shadow-joint frame.
The wooden panel (by Gerstaecker Tintoretto) consists of a solid wooden board mounted onto a 3 cm deep solid wood frame. This creates a stable picture structure with a total depth of 3.5 cm. The wooden panel is framed in a black shadow-joint frame.
The sides of the wooden panel are painted in a vibrant shade of red. The wooden panel protrudes approximately 1 cm beyond the front edge of the frame. This ensures that the vibrantly painted sides remain visible and stand out clearly against the black frame. The landscape is painted using high-quality acrylic paints. The original painting is sealed with a UV-protective varnish from Winsor & Newton and is signed on both the front and back.
: frame
The shadow-joint frame is included with purchase. This frame does not contain a glass pane. The painting is screwed into the frame at the back. The distinctive feature of a shadow-joint frame is the visible gap between the painting and the outer frame: This draws the viewer’s attention to the subject. The solid wood shadow gap frame is lacquered black, allowing the wood grain to remain visible. There is a sawtooth hanger on the back.
External dimensions of the frame: 34 x 34 cm
Depth of the frame: 37 mm
As the painting protrudes approximately 1 cm beyond the frame, the total depth is approximately 47 mm.
Shipping:
The artwork is dispatched ready to hang – including the frame, certificate of authenticity and signature on the front and back.
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.
