Luca Melchionda is a contemporary Italian artist whose artistic journey commenced during the lockdown of 2020, flourishing in tandem with his continually expanding imagination.
His projects, characters, and works are characterized by a decisive and "narrative" line of communication.
Melchionda's creations serve as playful invitations, filled with associations of ideas, dreamlike visions, and wordplay. Through his drawings, he encourages viewers to approach his highly surreal imagery with lightheartedness and serenity.
His distinctive style, evident both in his drawings and writing, is marked by simplicity, synthesis, and a magical quality, with clear influences from the world of childhood.
In 2015, Melchionda published a book titled "The Imaginative World of Melkio" (Erga Editions), featuring 18 stories and 20 drawings.
The book has garnered significant success, selling hundreds of copies and earning placement in the La Feltrinelli circuit.
