MARYLU MELO's Page

Not easily a painter, still uncertain about the first steps of a self learned evolution, has the courage of showing oneself to the inquiring eye of an experienced art scholar, whose eye and soul are numb by the constant contact with art. This is not the case with Marylu Melo. Carrying large canvases, and not acknowledging the limitations that cause great difficulty to those who are shy, this well borned "nordestina", moving as a veteran in the area, comes now submiting herself to the critical eye. She seeks a way to come forth looking for a place in the sun. Having awaken a tad late to the art-making, not being part of any type of art group and not knowing neither the regional nor the international art scene, she has not received any formal or conceptual influence to the poetical world of primitive painting. The unique art project to which she has delivered herself, amongst other ingredients contains vigorous expressions and a expressionist touch in a clear abstract conotation as if, in order to get to this stage, she has skipped the steps of an illusionary academic formation. We will hear a lot about this rising and corageous artist.
