ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Life on the island of Huahine is abundant with fresh picked delicious tropical fruits. I love to buy a stack of them from the tables on the side of the road in the village of Maeva near my studio. I set them up in this beautiful "umete", a traditional Polynesia vessel for food stuffs, which was a gift from my friend Jean Huukena who is a native of Nuku Hiva and a talented sculptor. I have to paint fast, because the fruit visibly ripens as I work! I try to finish painting the fruit first, then I can enjoy eating them as I continue painting the umete and the local style cloth, which I always use as backdrop to identify my still lifes as being specifically from French Polynesia!

Melanie Dupre
French Polynesia
I am a painter living on the south sea island of Huahine, in French Polynesia. I work primarily in oils on linen or canvas, but also in water media, pastels, and ink, and mixed media. I was born with a penchant for painting, and have been lucky enough to also be endowed with a will to stay on that path against all odds. My life path has been rich and varied and has contributed always to my development as an artist-being-human. I hope I get to live at least 500 years because I have enough inspiration and projects to last that long!
