Artist Mel Auberty has long been celebrated for her evocative and expressive Blue Horse series, which captures the power, movement, and raw energy of wild horses. This year, her work was featured in Spectacular Women of Architecture and Design Texas, a publication highlighting visionary female artists, architects, and designers who are shaping the creative landscape of Texas and beyond.
Auberty’s signature blue horses, known for their bold brushstrokes and dynamic energy, have been collected by major corporate and private patrons and featured in galleries across the country. In this latest feature, her work is showcased in an elegant Mediterranean-style interior, where the painting serves as a striking focal point in the space.
The feature in Spectacular Women of Architecture and Design Texas highlights one of Auberty’s large-scale Blue Horse paintings, prominently displayed in a formal living space with Mediterranean influences. The artwork, with its deep cobalt hues and gestural movement, stands in contrast to the room’s arched doorways, textured stucco walls, and warm earth tones, creating a stunning visual balance between contemporary abstraction and classic architectural design.

The placement of the painting in this space reinforces the idea that art and architecture are inseparable, with Auberty’s work bringing both movement and emotion to the environment. The feature explores how her expressionistic style complements high-end interiors, adding depth and a sense of storytelling to the space.
The Intersection of Fine Art and Interior Design
Auberty’s work is often sought after by interior designers, architects, and collectors who recognize its ability to elevate a space. Her paintings are not just decorative pieces but statements that engage the viewer, evoking a deep connection to nature and emotion.
