Melissa Zoe Castelletti (Mendrisio,1998) currently lives and studies in Bern.
At the CSIA in Lugano she obtained the Artistic Maturity in 2017, she continued her studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Brescia, and then moved to Bern to attend the Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Hochschule der Künste, graduating in 2021. She is currently pursuing a Master of Contemporary Arts Practice at the same school.
Her artistic practice is mainly expressed in drawing and sculptural installations, often using poetry and sound as mediums. Her research focuses on themes related to the nature of man and the inner quest as a pretext to describe the collective unconscious, intimacy and familiarity. The process of creation is the focal point of her artistic practice, in which the gesture and the working of the material are charged with the meaning of the work.
