Portrait artist and nude painter, in Bruno Melappioni’s works both genres are mixed.
What is the point, in fact, of capturing the face and bust of a man or woman if not to affirm their status, prestige, character, or inner motions?
But if all that appears on canvas are nubs, hair, and hinted profiles, can one still speak of a portrait?
The same applies to the body.

Nii Odai
The works of Nii Odai, born in Ghana in 1991, winner of the artist of the year award at BE OPEN Art, highlight the desire to convey an inspirational message that evokes natural emotions and virtues.
A feature of Nii Odai’s works is the use of raw colors which, according to the artist, are the closest manifestation of creation, the creator and his ability to evoke our emotions.

The flowers in Zhang Le’s works are a combination of two contradictions: prosperity and vitality on the one hand and fragility and decay on the other.
A Chinese artist born in 1999, the charm of this contradictory combination is evident in Zhang Le’s paintings, where beauty is brief and fragile because flowering is always accompanied by rapid decay.
