WHO IS MELO? MELO IS AN INTERNATIONAL ARTIST BEST KNOWN FOR HIS STONE RELIEF CARVINGS AND USE OF CONCISE COLOR PALETTES. HIS PIECES FEATURE ELEMENTS OF NATURE SUCH AS PLANTS AND ANIMALS ALONGSIDE ENGRAVED CIPHERS. THE CIPHERS CONTAIN POEMS AND CAUTIONARY MESSAGES THAT CONTEXTUALIZE EACH PIECE. "I DRAW INSPIRATION FROM MY OWN INTERNAL CONFLICTS AND MY PIECES IMMORTALIZE MOMENTS OF CLARITY FROM THE WARS I WAGE WITH MYSELF. ART IS MY WAY OF SHARING THAT CLARITY WITH THE WORLD. I WANT MY WORK AND MY JOURNEY TO BECOME A CATALYST FOR THE PERSONAL GROWTH OF OTHERS."
