Inspired by the romantic period, Ulrike Schmelter´s paintings approach the tournament of the 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 on a journey into unimagined hight 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 canvas painting. Thus, her pictures are not based on photographies – not a realistic reproduction, but capturing moods, the fascination of the instant, is an essential characteristic of the artist's pictorial world.
Ulrike Schmelter lives and works in Berlin and Denia (Valencia) / 2013-2018 Study of painting, Akademie für Berlin in the class of Ute Wöllmann /2018 Master of Arts, master-class student of Ute Wöllmann.
