Artist Statement / Curriculum Vitae Melissa Fiorentino

Artist Statement:
I create art that shows life, but not in the way others do. What I mean by this is that I create paintings that show a different side of life, the side where we are learning, discovering and living through the feeling that move through our veins during the process.

I just hope to find that people can see something in my art that moves them, that makes them get goosebumps or makes them feel the need to stop every time they walk byto give them the feeling of being alive!
