Melissa Dupont

Melissa Dupont is a visual artist based in Lima, Peru with training in architecture and design. She has a Masters Degree from the Technical School of Architecture of Madrid (ETSAM), and has a specialization in photography from the School of Photography and Image Center (EFTI), Spain.

Melissa began her career during her years in Spain, where she developed projects in visual arts and urban interventions. Her work is influenced by geometric abstraction, minimalism, and contemporary architecture and design, as part of a process of exploration of space, and of color and its possibilities.

Her creative projects and languages ​​lie between metal sculpture, digital painting, mural painting, and interdisciplinary artistic projects. Her work is characteristically luminous, clean and composed of simple lines; yielding both clean and intense chromatic harmony.

Dupont's artwork — in which perception, transparency and opacity interplay — can be perceived differently by the viewer according to his or her placement in space, turning the relation between the viewer and the work into a multifaceted dance of sorts. In her color compositions she seeks to generate a rhythm through chromatic variations and gradients, creating balance, serenity and silence.
