Melina Power

Melina Power has been experimenting in her studio since 2011 with various forms of texture, colour, light and composition. Void of predetermined layout plans, her process is purely exploratory. Each piece originates by trusting in her subconscious and intuition; allowing the materials to take on a life for themselves to evolve into unique works of abstract art.

Melina is formally trained in Fine Arts from the University of Guelph. She began her career working as a Graphic Designer for several companies in the corporate world, to later find her way as an independent Studio Jeweller and Goldsmith. Melina runs her small business and brand, NAKIIT, handcrafting contemporary sterling silver and gold jewellery. Throughout her diverse artistic journey, painting has always been a creative outlet that has brought her immense gratification and an opportunity to take a break from the jewellery bench once in a while.
