About me
A painter of Sicilian origin, Melania Golino draws on her deepest emotions to bring to life a sensitive and vibrant figurative work. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo, she has been developing a pictorial research for over twenty years where spontaneous gesture meets technical mastery. Her portraits, urban landscapes, and scenes of life explore moods, contrasts, and silences. Awarded several times and exhibited in Italy, Switzerland, and internationally, her works appear in private and public collections as well as in several specialized publications.
