Cafe Mela

Featured Artist: Johnathan Thomas.

At Cafe Mela, artist Johnathan Thomas presents “The pulse of pixels – The Art of Being” through May. Artist reception 5-8 pm, First Friday Artwalk.
Cafe Mela, 17N Wenatchee Ave.

Artist Statement:
“The pulse of pixels – The Art of Being”
In my latest exhibit, the pulse of pixels – The Art of Being, I delve into the tension between digital and traditional art, challenging the notion of what constitutes “real” art. Inspired by the philosophical questions of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, where the line between human and replicant blurs, this collection asks: Can you tell the difference? Does it matter? Through vibrant, abstract digital and traditional works, I explore the essence of art’s being—its ability to exist, to feel, and to connect, regardless of medium.
The beautiful nature of art lies in its capacity to transcend boundaries, to speak directly to the soul, and bring memories, emotions and life to those who encounter it. When we surround ourselves with art—whether born of paint or pixels—we create spaces around us that breathe with inspiration, reminding us daily of our shared and valued humanity. Art is a vital force that enriches our lives and deepens our connection to the world around us. Through The pulse of pixels – The Art of Being, I hope to spark a dialogue about authenticity, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the transformative power of creativity in all its forms.
