The Artist

A Vision
Beyond Form

"Art is what sensitizes us. Creation is the pleasure of living."

Melinda Garcia is one of the most versatile Brazilian artists of our time — sculptor, painter, designer, writer. Born in Rio de Janeiro, of Portuguese heritage, she entered the world of art at the age of seven at the School of Fine Arts, and has not stopped creating since.

Her works address behavioral and elemental themes at the intersection of scientific and psychic perception, using a transdisciplinary approach that weaves together modern physics, depth psychology, and spiritual philosophy.

Works are held in landmark public spaces, prestigious private collections — including those of Roberto Marinho and Elie Douer — and the Museum of Brazilian Art in São Paulo. She was awarded the Prize for Sculpture at the XI Florence Biennale of Contemporary Art in 2017.
