Melissa Sack

MIELIS is an American artist based in Sicily. Her practice spans oil pastel, mixed-media abstractions on canvas and poetic photographic prints that capture intimacy and atmosphere.

Her abstract paintings are built from layered gestures, soft blending, and luminous tones. Working primarily with oil pastels on canvas, she creates textured surfaces that feel both fragile and full of movement.

Her photographs mirror the Mediterranean landscape that shapes her daily life, with its contrasts and unmistakably generous light.
