Mel Lucy Bruneel (born Mélanie Lambrechts, 5th of august 1994) is a Belgian artist based in Antwerp. Throughout the years she worked with many mediums such as film, painting, photography, digital illustration and graphic design. Painting, however, is her biggest love. Fascinated by the craftsmanship: where does quality lay in a painting? How can you create a painting that’s restorable? How can a painting be full within itself? All questions are kept in mind while making a painting.

​

Her work is often described as being anecdotal. All paintings are pages of a book that the viewer writes themselves. Adding small details, such as footsteps, weather conditions, animal behaviours,… that entail & imply bigger symbolism behind her work. Observation of the world, (social) media and the current collective emotional climate blow a wind throughout her work. Alternating between escapism (showcasing beauty) and confrontation (contributing to a better world).
