In Communication with Nature

26 July - 18 August 2024

Melanie Van Loo

"If you could communicate with nature, what would you say? Would it be a conversation and what would be told, knowledge, wisdom or perhaps a captivating story? Somewhere in the in-between spaces of reality and the ethereal realms, this space of open stillness, there is a relationship, an exchange of energies, the ignition of the creative spark.

In exploring this relationship I spend countless hours exploring and observing nature, an existence that’s vast and inspiring. The rhythmic cycles and patterns of the plants, animals and lifeforms so mesmerising and complex. My pieces often incorporate geometry and symbolism offering a profound undertone behind the work and delving into the greater depths of our natural surrounds and journey in life.


Drawing is my primary medium, it allows me to follow my intuition and capture the fine and intricate details of my subject matter, creating unique and free flowing line work. I endeavour to convey the inner essence of my subject, using shading and blending techniques to create depth and form resulting in intriguing and visually dynamic artwork.


I hope to inspire viewers to feel an appreciation and curiosity for this natural world and invite them to establish a deeper connection with this mysterious and magical existence, to broaden our minds and imagination and be open to the infinite possibilities."
