Longing reveals what is often neglected in everyday life.
The picture depicts a quiet moment by the water. The sky appears vast and soft, the colours calm and subdued. Nothing intrudes into the foreground. The water’s surface remains still, whilst the clouds drift slowly by. This creates a moment in which one’s gaze widens and thoughts slow down.
It is often in precisely such quiet moments that one first realises what is missing from one’s daily life. As long as one is busy, one simply carries on. One thinks of work, tasks, appointments or problems. It is only when things quieten down and nothing demands immediate attention that one becomes aware of one’s own needs again.
This image evokes that moment. You stand before the vast expanse, perhaps hearing only the wind or the water, and suddenly realise just how good tranquillity actually feels. Or you realise how difficult it has become to find peace at all. It is precisely this that reveals what you long for. For tranquillity. For clarity. For lightness. For time for oneself or for a closer connection to nature.
This creates a moment in which the tranquillity of the outside world directs one’s gaze inwards. This longing does not reveal something new, but rather that which has long been neglected.

The distinctive feature of a shadow-joint frame is the visible joint between the stretcher and the outer frame: this draws the viewer’s attention to the subject. The shadow-joint frame is made of natural wood. There is a sawtooth hanging bracket on the back.
External dimensions of the frame: 33 cm x 33 cm
Depth of the frame: 3.6 cm
Shipping:
The artwork is shipped stretched onto a stretcher frame – including a certificate of authenticity, the frame and the artist’s 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.
