  • Surface

    Artwork Description: The painting treats the body as a biological surface — exposed, enlarged and observed almost like a laboratory sample. Blue traces spread across the form like colonies, bruises or microscopic structures, turning the figure into a field of organic activity. The work continues an interest in matter, skin and disappearance — in a…

  • A Reate mea

    Artwork Description: L’opera è stata presentata ad un concorso all’interno di una manifestazione di arte estemporanea nella mia città.

  • Residual Tissue

    Artwork Description: The painting develops the idea of the body as an unstable structure — biological, yet almost luminous, dissolving into darkness. The form resembles a fragment of a living organism seen in close-up: tissue, vessel, a trace of transformation or a process of decay. It is another work in a series in which the…

  • Who Am I? (Nān Yār in Tamil)

    Artwork Description: Who Am I? is more than a painting of a goddess; it is a self-portrait of a lifelong journey. The figure embodies beauty, divine femininity, creativity, and the abundance of life. Rather than a distant deity, she represents a constant presence through every season of existence joy, struggle, growth, and stillness. She is…

  • Reflection

    Additional Artwork Images: Artwork Description: Reflection by Melissa Ghiette is a humorous kinetic artwork that blinks and winks when a viewer pulls its strings.

Con l’opera “ASSENZA” , un cappotto in ceramica indossato da una sagoma trasparente in plexiglass, cerco di esplorare il…

  • La notte

    Artwork Description: Per il quadro ho utilizzato solo ed esclusivamente gessetti colorati su una base costituita da una tavola di sughero. Il quadro è stato incorniciato con piccola cornice di legno marrone scuro e oro per risaltare la figura disegnata. Per proteggere il quadro dopo aver spruzzato dello spray fissante ho preferito mettere un vetro….

  • Spinti

    Artwork Description: A historical term from the 16th century served as inspiration for this figure: “spintisieren”, which describes fruitless brooding and dwelling on misguided thoughts. The heaviness of thought is symbolized by the horns, which threaten to burst the head and, despite being laced up, continue to grow, twisting around themselves instead of protecting the…

  • Sense and sensibility

    Artwork Description: Inspired by Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, this charcoal work, from the conceptual series “Inner Readings”, explores the dialogue between reason and emotion through two contrasting female presences. One figure is constructed through angular, architectural forms, suggesting restraint, structure, and introspection, while the other emerges through softer, flowing contours that evoke sensitivity and…

  • Der Macher

    Artwork Description: “Der Macher” A persons of boundless self-confidence, convinced that they can do anything and are entitled to do everything. They act in a dominant and loud manner, do not tolerate contradiction, and show no consideration. Their will is the standard, their ambition the driving force—a character whose word is law and whose actions…
