​

WORK

Mixing materials and techniques, experimenting, researching and creating new media and forms of expression, placing them in a historical and social context is Daniela Melzig's concern.

The snapshots of the performances become light paintings and installations. Daniela Melzig has been creating objects and spaces full of transparency and lightness since 1998 by mixing traditional glass processing and media such as printmaking, painting, performances, film and photography. Her special technique combines digital imagery with traditional handcraft and is reminiscent of the first photographic plates on glass. Space and time influence color and form. The impression is created from the light.

In 2023, her artistic techniques were added to the German and European Trademark Register.
