Melissa Wiederrecht - Collection: Solitude

This week: Solitude by @mwiederrecht

A beautiful collection of gen art featured on @fx_hash_ , it dives into the feeling of solitude through an exquisite painterly style portraying dreamy landscapes.

The landscape created by @mwiederrecht presents a contemplative balance between reality and intimate vision, between observation and expression. Conveying the feeling of solitude, her landscapes seem to resonate with Caspar David Friedrich’s words:

"The painter should not paint merely what he sees in front of him, but also what he sees within himself. If he sees nothing within, he should not paint what he sees before him."

Caspar David Friedrich

Through a subtle palette and softened brushstrokes @mwiederrecht’s blurry landscapes are permeated by a veil of nostalgia, capturing both an external world of nature and an inner life of herself all at once.

As a state of mind, solitude enables the development of the inner focus crucial for experiencing the spiritual and obtaining the intellectual control of emotions. Hence, solitude is essential to create circumstances favourable to expanding human feelings & thoughts.

Stylistically, @mwiederrecht’s landscapes are composed by reminiscences of waves, evoking the brushstrokes running through Munch’s iconic work, The Scream.

But while Munch "sensed a great scream passing through nature”, encapsulating the feeling of dread, @mwiederrecht’s compositions are pervaded by a soft energy, eliciting a gentle whisper of nature. Silent and quiet, her waves expand into the landscape of solitude...
