ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Having been fashioned from clay and given the quality of "naïve grace combined with feeling", she is set to wander through an enchanted landscape. She is known as the "gift", thus "the all-endowed", "all-gifted" or "all-giving" and was the first human woman created by Hephaestus on the instructions of Zeus. The Pandora myth is a kind of theory, addressing the question of why there is evil in the world, according to which, Pandora opened a jar releasing all the evils of humanity.

Mel Fiorentino, a renowned artist with a career spanning over two decades, skillfully merges Renaissance influences with contemporary art. Her passion for drawing and painting began in her teens, deeply inspired by the symbolism and existential themes of Renaissance masters. This classical foundation has driven her dedication to figurative work and portraiture, blending historical and modern elements to push artistic boundaries. Fiorentino's technical mastery and symbolic depth are evident in her celebrated works, showcased at prestigious events like the Epcot International Art Festival and sold globally, including at Disney Springs' House of Blues. As a master of oil painting, she meticulously mixes her own paints to achieve unique textures, creating a dynamic interplay of surrealism and realism in her evolving art. Beyond her personal practice, Mel is an ardent educator at her studio, Fiorentino Atelier, where she teaches academic art. Through the atelier, she shares her passion and techniques with students, contributing to the community through over 75 exhibits and events, including the First Friday Artwalk. Nationally and internationally recognized, with works in private collections worldwide, Mel continues to create and inspire from her Florida studio, leaving an enduring legacy in the art world.
