ARTIST STATEMENT
Melina's art inspiration comes from pictures she captures on her road trip surroundings, channeling her feelings and sentiments of the moment through her work. Melina creates a soothing and inviting atmosphere, using various styles and techniques, often incorporating vivid colors and intricate brushstrokes. Her process starts with an abstract base of gestural lines and shapes, which she then builds upon using a combination of traditional brushwork to focus on the main idea and a glaze to create blurriness.
With her artwork, Melina aims to provide a point of view of the present life where she meets with others' feelings and brings an appreciation for the beauty found in the world. She hopes that collectors will not only be captivated by the objects or figures in her art but also be in touch with the universality of emotions and the atmosphere conveyed.
