Daniela MELZIG MONDES Transparents®
MONDES Transparents®,Peintre de lumière sur verre, interprète, cinéaste
Sous le nom de ma marque MONDES Transparents®, je me consacre à une recherche artistique interdisciplinaire qui efface les frontières entre tradition et modernité.
En associant le savoir-faire verrier traditionnel à des disciplines telles que la peinture, les arts graphiques, la photographie, le cinéma et la performance, je crée des objets et des installations multimédias caractérisés par la transparence et la légèreté. Une symbiose entre verre, lumière et mouvement.
Mon engagement en faveur de la durabilité écologique se manifeste dans ma pratique, qui privilégie le travail en extérieur et l’utilisation de matériaux naturels.
En tant qu’artiste axée sur la mise en réseau, j’évolue à la croisée de la pratique sociale et de l’installation conçue pour un lieu spécifique ; je transforme des événements historiques en expériences ancrées dans le présent, à travers des installations monumentales créées *in situ*.
Mon art — enraciné dans l’instant éphémère — transporte le public vers des univers oniriques, empreints d’étrangeté et d’échos du passé ; des mondes où le temps semble suspendu et où tout baigne dans une lueur diffuse et éthérée.
