Melina Rubin

Through varied abstract painting techniques I explore and express the nuances of sensations experienced in my daily life. If on the one hand I seek to bring tangible impressions (colors, shapes, textures) on the intangible (feelings, experiences, etc.) on the other hand, I seek to do so in a completely free way, where there is no right or wrong. With a background in the fashion market, I combine the know-how of mixing colors and an aesthetic sense of proportions and shapes with the free movement of art, where I don't just try to make something beautiful, but with meaning. Layers, textures, cuts…all of this is linked to the look I have during the creative process.
Freedom, expression, well-being, and human (dis)connections are themes that are present in ways that are sometimes subtle, sometimes more blatant in the creation of my work.
