My name is Mélodie MONTES VILLAVERDE, a multidisciplinary painter for over 20 years.

Quimperoise, Born in 1989 in Brittany to a mother from Plouhinec (29) and a Galician father (Spain), I spent my entire childhood in the city of Quimper, which I now know by heart. I draw my inspiration from my roots and from the raw energy of what surrounds me and pierces me.

In love with my Brittany, I like to pay homage to this strong and proud land through my characters, who often wear the sailor shirt, decorated with a heart.

This symbol embodies love and perseverance, values that resonate deeply within me. In each work, I seek to express the light that springs from chaos and the beauty born from imperfection.
I am a "Jack of all trades" as they say, I thrive as much in painting as in photography. Entirely self-taught, I have an infinite thirst for learning.

Everything interests me, everything upsets me...

My art reflects a gentle and fiery personality, a balance between the delicacy of emotions and the power of inner fire.
My story, my life filled with both violence and love, have inspired and shaped my artistic journey. Each stroke is a vibration, each color, a flame that illuminates the shadows of everyday life.

A way to express the authenticity, strength, resilience and beauty that emanates from the imperfection of chaos.
