Even someone standing alone can hold on to something.
A solitary tree stands at the centre of the winter landscape. The expanse around it is vast, clear and still. The snow creates a tranquil expanse, over which the sky casts a subdued light. In this open space, the figure’s independence stands out clearly. The tree bears the marks of weather and time, with irregular branches and visible breaks, yet appears stable and upright in its stance.
The surroundings reinforce this impression. There are no paths, directions or supporting elements. The emptiness creates a space in which steadfastness becomes immediately apparent. The tree stands without support, without proximity and without external orientation, yet remains stable. Stability that arises not from external structures, but from inner strength.
In this context, moments in which there is little movement, interaction or direction lose their threatening nature. The ability simply to endure such phases takes on a value of its own. Stability and grounding then arise not through activity, but through being rooted in what sustains one’s own person: habits, experiences, convictions or inner calm.
The depiction serves as a reminder that standing alone is not a sign of weakness. A stance can be reliable, even if it appears quiet and unspectacular. This quiet steadiness often forms the basis for orientation, even when the surroundings seem vast and unoccupied.
The work is part of a five-part series.
Material:
The painting is executed on a painting panel. The panel is made from an MDF board stretched with a cotton canvas, approximately 3.2 mm thick, dimensionally stable and warp-free.
The landscape is painted using lightfast, high-quality artists’ acrylic paints. The painting is framed and is therefore dispatched ready to hang. The original painting is sealed with a UV-protective varnish from Lascaux and is signed on the front and back. It is supplied with a certificate of authenticity.

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.
