Really loved Melina’s work!! She was great to communicate with and was able to understand what I was looking for and produced two beautiful nature pieces. Highly recommend!

When searching for an artist, Melina's artwork caught my attention as it had the nature focus that I was looking for. So glad that she agreed to work with me as she really took the time to understand what I was looking for before she started the portrait and after completion she made sure I was satisfied. It was easy to work with Melina, the work was done in the agreed time and the portrait turned out to be everything I was hoping for as she captured the person's eyes and smile perfectly along with the giant sunflower!

About
SHORT BIO   My interest and skills in oil painting and Arts originated in Mexico, where I was born, raised, and inspired.  Later, I lived in Finland, where I studied fine arts and gained a specialization in abstract and contemporary stained glass.  During this time, I worked on mosaic mural installations using ceramic and Murano glass and participated in an environmental art project. Then, I moved to Chile, where I continued my studies to refine my oil painting, pastel and carbon drawing skills. I am currently a Canadian citizen living in Mississauga, Ontario, focusing on showcasing my artwork at different venues and doing commissions for landscape and oil portrait paintings. My artwork is not 100% realistic, I’m an Artist who works meticulously, but I like to leave some texture or brush strokes unfinished on purpose. I am impressed by nature and man's creations, so to understand our surroundings, I enjoy taking pictures, usually on my road trips. I like to use the ones that move me and motivate my curiosity to create my version of it through my pieces. I focus on capturing my emotions using vibrant colours but most especially blue tones. I like to make my works contain a bit of nostalgia. Life is complicated and sometimes hard. I face life with a positive attitude; that's why I try to project on my work emotions such as calm, joy and nostalgia. So, When I do portrait paintings from a picture, I like to connect with the character through his eyes and body language to capture the person's essence with a bit of his story given by the client. This is my way of connecting with people.o
