corinne Bandeira de Mello

Corinne Bandeira de Mello is a visual artist born in 1971, based in Montpellier.
Trained in applied arts and multimedia, she developed a free and poetic graphic style.
a writing that creates an image, that becomes a drawing – almost like a comic strip, without actually being one.
Her work explores the trace, the imprint, the resonance between the intimate and the collective.
Through layers of graphite, pencil, ink, and paint, each work becomes a sensitive parchment.
inhabited by silences, gestures and memories.
The faces, covered in ink or gold leaf, are at the heart of this expression: they carry the light.
Gold becomes a signature there, revealing what is silent, what wavers or rises.
Between inner breath and visual engagement, her works weave a wordless, profoundly human language.
