Other

Under the heading "Other" I would like to present two further fields of my creative work to you: painting tiles and editing books describing the world of porcelain painting.

Painting tiles

Some time ago I started to extend porcelain painting to other materials and surfaces such as tiles. Apart from the actual process of painting, the challenge here lies in selecting and arranging the motifs for the respective room and spreading more extensive motifs or complete arrangements over several tiles. The paintings can be applied both on wall and floor tiling and, after the actual painting process, they are eternalized on the tile by means of firing.

The following examples show some hand-painted tiles focusing on the topic "Africa" (please click on the images to view them in enlarged format):

Melanie Foster Fliesenmalerei
"Zebras",
subject painted on three wall tiles, totalling 90 x 40 cm
Melanie Foster Fliesenmalerei
"Löwe in der Savanne"
arrangement on 6 wall tiles,
totalling 90 x 60 cm
Melanie Foster Fliesenmalerei
"Wasserbüffel, Baumbordüre, Elefanten und Gepard"
Various tile paintings

On request I would equip your office, practice or private rooms individually with hand-painted tiles together with you and/or your architect. Providing mutual consent, samples and motifs can be placed and arranged optimally when it comes to new buildings or renovations, no matter whether this concerns a bathroom, sauna or wellness area, kitchen or other rooms which you want to furnish with tiles on floors and walls.

For the paintings you can envisage both nature motifs and the portrayal of certain objects. But also individually designed ornaments such as oriental or asiatic style are perfectly suited to give your room the desired athmosphere.
