Statement
Melissa began her career during her years in Spain, where she dedicated herself to developing visual arts projects and urban interventions. Her work is rooted in abstract geometry, minimalism, and contemporary architecture and design, exploring space, color, and their possibilities.
Her creative project encompasses metal sculpture, digital painting, mural painting, and interdisciplinary art projects. It is characterized by its luminosity, clean lines, and simple aesthetic, creating a chromatic harmony that is both simple and intense.
She does not seek to intellectualize her art, creating instead through the senses, guided by a need to achieve aesthetic harmony in her compositions. She uses color intuitively as a building block, where space becomes visible through planes of color that reveal architectural elements.
In her explorations of color and perspective, the viewer can perceive the work in different ways, varying with their movement through the space, playing with perception, transparency, and opacity. In its color variations, it seeks to generate a rhythm that appears by combining different chromatic values and their gradient variations, creating balance, serenity, and silence.
