Mevlana Lipp’s reliefs celebrate nature in its wildest aspect. The artist uses intense, almost otherworldly colours to accentuate the magical side of his subject. At the same time, he creates a kind of alienation as he refers to the way in which people are increasingly moving away from nature. His works primarily aim to honour nature, with a slight warning about the current threat to the environment, which Lipp says is only fitting.
The artist’s works glow in the dark to create a sense of security, just like how a night light makes a child feel safe. At the same time, he seeks to show the power of nature by referring to natural phenomena related to light (stars, sun, fire, etc.).
