About Lissa
Lissa Mel is an Israeli artist, gallerist, entrepreneur, and fashion designer. Her art has been featured at Miami’s prestigious Art Basel and will be showcased at New York's Artexpo April 4-7, 2024. It is also represented at her own Santa Monica-based gallery, The Messengers Art Gallery. Born in Uzbekistan and raised in Israel, Mel spent most of her life in Tel Aviv where her mother encouraged her artistic talents from a young age. In high school, her love for science led her to study physics, chemistry, and biology. But it was her passion for the arts that eventually took center stage and prompted a focus on painting, sculpture, and cinema.
About
Lissa’s Art
Mel’s art explores matter at a molecular level using abstract depictions to capture performance while mirroring the vibrational waves of matter. Her view on the human body is that of a vessel performing the dance of the natural realm and depicting the interaction between the feminine and masculine energies. Mel’s artistic vision continued to evolve as she experimented with new materials and techniques. And in 2022 she combined her two passions, painting and fashion, and launched her own hoodie and apparel collection called Loren Marie. She’s since founded her own gallery, created hundreds of pieces of artwork, and collaborated with such iconic designers as Michael Kors.
