Born in New Zealand and raised in London, Melinki is the up-and-coming artist to be watching in the Tāmaki Makaurau art scene.
Despite never formally attending Art school; her prior career endeavours in fashion, interior design and home renovation have equipped her with an array of creative and technical skills which can be seen in the way her work dances across the canvas.
Her work pulls from the school of abstract expressionism, it's instinctive, lively and effervescent. She abandons traditional techniques – conveying energy and movement, permitting the canvas to express her raw, unfiltered emotions.
Melinki doesn’t aim to please, she wants you to feel something, anything. To step into her world and stay there long enough for it to leave a mark.
