Lamberto Melina
Painting works
Lamberto Melina's works arise from light chromatic hues of coloured light that flow from a carefully considered sedimentation of light brushstrokes or dense and delicate pencil strokes. While Caravaggio used a sharp, grazing light to enhance reality and Rembrandt placed a radiant source of light within his figures, Melina, with his process of slowly extracting white from the depths of black, constructs figures and objects made of solid, luminous beauty. These figures are simply perfect, accompanied by symbols of rare artistic quality and beauty in the true sense of the word. His technical research, based on oils on canvas, is unique in its kind.
Biography
Born in Piedmont, Lamberto Melina is a natural talent in contemporary art, far removed from academic indoctrination despite his degree in aesthetic philosophy. He made his debut in the early 1990s, with a series of solo and group exhibitions in Italy, before moving on to European stages. His works are famous throughout Europe for their sensitivity and technical virtuosity combined with chromatic preciousness. His works feature female figures in situations linked to psychological analysis, with clear psychoanalytic references to Klimt's secessionism. Since 2010, Lamberto Melina has participated in the most important European group exhibitions and international art fairs around the world. In 2011, his works were exhibited at the Italian Pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale. In 2012, he won first prize at the Amalfi International Prize.
