MELANIE SCHÖNIGER, Orchid, unique piece of art, gouache on brown paper, 30 cm x 42 cm, 2019
 
MELANIE SCHÖNIGER, GERMANY
Born in 1974, she studied Media Design (diploma with honour in Munich, 1999)
and had  been working as art director for different agencies in Europe and clients worldwide.
Besides that she travelled the world for a lot of months. 
And finally she  has to admit she adores Asia (and would love to live there).
Asian flora and culture inspires her: 
the beauty of plants as orchids and strelitzia or the woodblock prints of Japanese masters like Hiroshige or Hokusai.
