ILENE MEYER
Artist.
Life is beauty. There is nothing in this world that is too ugly not to deserve our attention—and that is why I struggle when I paint. Everything on the canvas demands that I put my entire being into it. My paintings are my soul, spirit, and mind, a balanced world of emotions and calculations. I push myself to the limit to find every skill and magic possible in order to create the ultimate result. Like a birth, my work is painful, wearying, but also rewarding.

The subjects and landscapes I have painted are to show the beauty of which is on the brink of disappearing. The magnificent habitat of the fauna is changing to concrete and wastelands... which is what I represent in the paintings as a somewhat confusing computer-oriented space. The rhythms of that space-scape along with the various shapes represent the ebb and flow of the cycle of life and death. My animals and plants are found in strange environments which they have somehow adapted to, yet the spirit still dreams of yesterday. Those subjects ultimately represent ourselves.
