Shadow Portraits

Ideas began flowing, stirring me awake in the early hours of the morning as my mind played with the possibilities. A question emerged...

Darkness & Light

You can't have one without the other. The polarity makes the whole.

You know that feeling you get...

when you connect with the perfect painting, as if it was created just for you. It speaks not just to what you see but to what you feel, capturing fleeting emotions and unspoken truths. In that moment the painting becomes more than art; it becomes a part of YOU.

Hi, I'm MELA

Welcome to my creative corner of the internet! I am glad you are here to join me on this beautiful journey of creativity and discovery.

Art, after all, isn’t just something to look at—it’s something to feel. So take your time, dive in, and discover what speaks to you.

Beneath the surface

Masks reveal more when you pause to look deeper. What is real and what is projected?

Layers, layers, layers

I’m drawn to contrast—the brilliance of whites against deep, dark backgrounds and the vibrant energy of bold colors. Lines also captivate me, from the sharp clarity of crisp edges to the softness of gradients that shape rounded forms, bringing life and dimension to the work.

My goal is to create work that not only captures the eye but also resonates with the heart, offering a connection that feels uniquely personal.
