Daniela MELZIG - Transparente WELTEN®

​

Daniela Melzig is an innovative artist who studied interdisciplinary fine arts and

design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Maastricht, Netherlands. Currently

expanding her expertise in interdisciplinary dance education at the Academy for

Cultural Education in Remscheid, she creates objects, performances,

and installations under the name Transparent Worlds. By traditional glass processing

with various media and genres, she blurs the boundaries of time and space. Daniela's work has garnered international attention, with installations showcased across and representation by the Art-Expertise gallery in Florence.

​

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 2024, her artistic techniques were added to the European Trademark Register.
