Melisa King:
I look for “Quintessence of Life” in every object of my painting. For me, the best way to represent this is by nature and living beings. That’s why I like to paint and re-experience plants, animals, landscapes, the sea, the sky and the people. In that way I believe I have a chance to grasp the feeling of the the beauty of the creation. We all breathe together, so why not celebrate this beauty on a painting? So, paintings are celebrations for me. I like to share the excitement of colors and shapes of the existence which is beyond my imagination.
