In the dark of the night, Illuminated Paintings are “Adult Nightlights”--landscapes embedded with small glowing objects that may enter the sleeper’s dreams. Each painting is consecrated against Nyctophobia--or the mind’s fearful and disfigured perception of what might happen in the dark.
I aspire to be a seer in the dark: to see past, present, and future as one; to see hidden things, often with the aid of divine instruments; to warn of real or imagined calamities. I place my often self-aggrandizing visions in works of art instead of in scripture.
Most paintings are one foot panels (approx. 18" with frame) and can be purchased here or on ETSY. Please find me on Facebook ("Vance Mellen") and/or comment on my Youtube videos. I'd like to keep visitors posted on future work.
