Presentation

Following an artistic training at Vauban University in Nîmes (master's degree in visual arts and applied arts). Melvyn Barros develops a style with strong visual tones, based on forms, mosaic, stained glass, color, spirit of synthesis and humor.
The colorful work of Melvyn Barros points to conceptual art which favors the idea over the gaze, and which adopts an often theoretical approach.

In opposition to this these works are at the same time expressive, figurative, grandiose, detailed, abstract, resembling comics, with lots of quotes and references to the history of art or to intimate feelings like sexuality and the fear.

“My periodic references in the history of art are the Italian Renaissance, for the correctness of the line as well as Impressionism or Fauvism for a painting that wanted to be visually exciting. "

The work of Melvyn Barros points to this society where the image takes precedence over the background.

"I try to pay homage to the world that we no longer see, to the things that surround us but to which we no longer pay attention due to the abundance of information that we are subjected to and which overwhelms us ... Today seeing, becomes a luxury. With my work, I give you the luxury of being able to watch without being forced, with a somewhat naive art, which slows down time, accessible to all, and which unites. "

The figurative French touch of the artist is in the news of his time, with a simplified graphic style inspired by urban art where the structure is just as important as the message.

Last little nod to the world of graffiti: his signature. A “little guy” with a diamond head symbolically recalling a hooded graffiti artist caricaturing the world in the shadows.
