MELISSA LARRAÑAGA

Melissa Larrañaga (Lima, 1976)
is a contemporary visual artist
whose work explores the
essence of nature through
organic forms, textures, and
subtle chromatic harmonies.
Her paintings reveal a profound
connection with the natural
world, translating botanical
structures and landscapes into
abstract visual poetry.

Through a delicate balance
between intuition and
discipline, Larrañaga invites the
viewer to contemplate the
fragility and resilience of life as
mirrored in the flora of her
native Peru. Each work
emerges as a meditative act of
reconnection a return to the
origins of beauty and growth.
