Marcelo de Melo

[2] De Melo travelled worldwide visiting museums and archaeological sites in pursuit of his passion for mosaics and art in general.

He went on a study trip to Southeast Asia in 2002/2003 and produced an article on mosaic art in Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam published in Grout Magazine (BAMM - UK).

In 2017, de Melo had the opportunity to exhibit alongside Lucio Fontana and Mirko Basaldella at the Museo d'Arte della città di Ravenna.

[4][5] His book De Kunst van het Mozaieken (ISBN 9058777391), jointly written with a Dutch mosaicist, was published in the Netherlands in January 2010 by Forte Uitgevers BV.

(JoAnn Locktov)[6] "With a strongly cultivated and eclectic training, he has translated into the language of mosaic […] a view permeated with the denunciation of contemporaneity, with an increasingly social and, at the same time, fiercely ironic and sacrilegious style.
