Melina RICCIO

(Italy, 1951-)

Melina Riccio’s work garnishes cities with messages of peace, love, ecology and justice, almost always written in rhyme. The Art et marges museum maintains a collection of collages and textile compositions, but her multifaceted repertoire also includes poetry, graffiti and performances. Struggling against a world ruled by money, Melina Riccio shares her critical vision through the sensitive experience of an anti-capitalist utopia. It was following a period of overwork and burnout, accompanied by delirium, that she embarked on this creation, breaking suddenly with her former life as a stylist and a housewife.
