One centimeter a day (II)
María Melero, the talented painter from Jerez, immerses us in a world of still lifes that transcend the everyday. His paintings, almost like allegories, explore life and pause through flowers, plants and birds. Its distinctive color palette and strokes that evoke refined brutalism invite us to reflect on the ephemeral nature and beauty that lies in the simple.
In addition, his surrealist art also embraces transformation, with elements such as dead animals being reborn, broken hearts, and withered flowers sprouting again. In each brushstroke, María Melero invites us to contemplate life from a unique and nuanced perspective.

María Melero
Freelance illustrator.
Artist and illustrator. Born in Jerez, 1988. She studied Graphic Design and Illustration and her work is developed in the editorial, artistic and advertising fields.
In his pictorial work, he has created a colourful language endowed with a symbolic force that puts Andalusian culture at the centre.
His work is vindictive, representative and full of contrasts; through everyday elements, he detonates a social critique that allows us to see the interior of Andalusia with total clarity. Literature, engravings from the nineteenth century and Andalusian folklore are his main sources of inspiration.
