Isabel Mello

Isabel Mello is more than a name or a personal project. It means passion. Passion for sculpture. Each piece of art produced by this Portuguese artist is like a bridge between her inner self and the outer world . Sharing the view of Edgar Degas “Art is not what you see but what you make others see”. Her work is a never ending inspirational talk. Having a keen interest in Alpaca, also called German Silver, she produces elegant, sophisticated ,gorgeous and delicate figures. Sometimes the final piece of art can be an eclectic mix of stone, wood, metal or any other material but the final result is always amazing and unique.
Being Portuguese, the sea is a big part of her the inspiration. The discoveries, the blue ocean, the strength of the wind. It is impossible not to feel the influence of the elements when you are around her work.
