“Beautiful Silence” paints a picture of tranquility in response to the noise of current times. Evolving from heavily textured oceanic scenes, the artwork underwent a journey of reduction until it captured the essence of a serene sky. Melissa Wiederrecht stripped her signature textures out of the work to reveal a yearning for silence. As external demands increase, the artist seeks to break free from these pressures, pursuing the light that comes from untethered creativity.
