Melissa Quaranta

Melissa Quaranta primarily uses painting, mixed media, and materials such as glass and paper, drawing on a solid artistic background in Valdagno and Venice. In her abstract, textured works, she explores the expressiveness of matter combined with fluid painterly gestures and fragmented inserts, evoking rich, tactile surfaces. Her style is distinguished by its ability to reveal and conceal places, feelings, and memories, conveying profound emotions of discovery, abandonment, and nostalgia, as if they were artifacts surfaced by time and the unconscious through painting.
