mel_imageMel started as a designer and then shifted to develop herself in art. She won the Artist in Residence Award in the “6th Evora International Printmaking Competition” in 2009 and also held her first solo exhibition “Last Portrait” in the same year.

Mel uses a journalistic view to observe the ever-changing world and compares her surroundings to judge and understand herself. These observations and ideas are expressed in her art. Mel graduated from the University of Macau, majoring in Communications.
Foot(Prints)
The exhibition is a reflection of our actual footsteps. Contrary to the force implied by the impression of the foot on any surface, we find here a more light, poetic, and subtle side. It is an ephemeral impression on the world that provides openness, in which we can add meaning to it. These footprints are like the memory that fades, the soft breeze of the wind, the mild heat of the sun on the skin, and the sweetness of raindrops.
