Lamberto Melina
Painting works
Lamberto Melina’s works emerge from delicate chromatic nuances of coloured light, built through a meticulous layering of subtle brushstrokes and fine pencil marks. If Caravaggio used a sharp, directional light to reveal reality and Rembrandt placed a radiant source of light within his figures, Melina gradually draws white from the depths of black, creating figures and objects imbued with a solid, luminous beauty.
His perfectly refined figures are accompanied by symbols of rare artistic quality and beauty. His distinctive oil-on-canvas technique is the result of a unique and meticulous artistic research.
Biography
Born in Piedmont, Lamberto Melina is a natural talent of contemporary art, whose artistic sensibility has remained independent of academic conventions despite his degree in Aesthetic Philosophy. He began exhibiting in the early 1990s, developing a career through solo and group exhibitions across Italy before expanding onto the European art scene.
His works are renowned throughout Europe for their sensitivity and technical virtuosity, combined with refined and sophisticated use of colour. Female figures emerge in situations connected to psychological exploration, with clear psychoanalytic references to Klimtian Secessionism.
Since 2010, Melina has participated in major European group exhibitions and international art fairs worldwide. In 2011, his works were exhibited at the Italian Pavilion of the 54th Venice Biennale. In 2012, he won First Prize at the International Amalfi Art Prize.
