“…After mastering the basics of graphics and painting, I became interested in the natural, ancient character and the versatile application of porcelain enamel. … What piqued my interest even more was that the final form of enamel pieces is born from the complicated chemical reactions of the four elements of earth, water, air and fire. When I first tried the enamel technique, I was amazed by the reductions and oxidations in the burning hot oven. Enamel, this magical material can reflect or let light through, it can have a soft lustre finish, or it can heat up and become fiery, producing a hard sparkling effect… The cold and rigid material becomes alive! Light has an equally important effect on enamel pieces as it does on our lives.” (Edit Morelli)




“…Similar to medieval enamel images and mosaics, the works of Edit Morelli seem to be emanating light themselves: they glisten on their own. A seldom-cited thinker of the High Middle Ages called Hugó Szentviktori (12th cent.) wrote the following about color and light as sources of beauty: ‘There is no need to discuss the color of things at length, as vision itself proves how much nature’s beauty gains from the array of various colors. What can be more beautiful than light, which has no color itself, but it gives color to all other things by shining over them.’” (Zita Kovács)
