About


Inspired by the romantic period, Ulrike Schmelter´s paintings approach the tournament of elements. Water- and cloudscapes are in the centre of her artistic work. Her paintings impress by their "particular perspective": looking at the pictures, they take you to a journey into unimagined hights or let you dive deep into the colours of the sea.

Ulrike Schmelter observes nature with great passion, studies cloud formations and waves, using all her imagination to transfer it later in her studio into a canvaspainting. Thus, her pictures are not based on photographes - not a realistic reproduction, but capturing moods, the fascination of the instant, is an essential characteristic of the artist´s pictorial world.

Colourful as well as light, airy and filigree motives, covering realistic and abstract elements, are expecting every viewer looking at the often large-sized paintings.
