"Åsa Melin's artistic expression has largely focused on sculpture - painting - and poetry.
In addition to painting, her facial sculptures, which she has worked on intensively in recent years, have attracted a lot of attention. Faces representing different peoples and eras, with restful, meditative expressions in their carefully chiseled features. Sculptures that allow themselves to be evoked at will. And if. Which are then mounted on rusty old valves, driftwood or other beach finds and thereby gain a natural link to eternity. To the immortal.
Åsa wants the sculptures, like her paintings, to convey an inner stillness and calm. A kind of meditation.
Her greatest source of inspiration is the landscape she lives in. The sky that meets earth and sea.
Or as she herself puts it:
"Encounters - be it a person, a stone, a flower, a quiet spring rain or an angry fall storm. The meeting with nature that surrounds us, the meeting with the silence that rests in me..."
