Reading Key - 3/7 (2020) Photography by Mélina Bismuth

Mélina Bismuth is a professional photographer and artist. She assembles hundreds of shots to reconstruct her own reality through sensitive and timeless abstract and graphic work. Urban construction projects piqued his interest: scaffolding tarpaulins, shop windows locked and painted in white Meudon.

His artistic writing is subject to a long process of deconstruction and reconstruction. Serial shots are used to break up the subject in time. Then put them together in an elaborate way. His images recreate the "true colors" captured in the city. To gather all the colors needed for some of her paintings, she spent three years photographing in dozens of locations.

Mélina Bismuth was born in Libreville, Gabon, on July 14, 1978. Her painting is imbued with the colors of her African childhood. His artistic approach has been nourished by a decade spent working in the field of jewelry (jeweler Place Vendôme). She harmonizes the layout of a large number of images, as if they were many stones to be set, or connects her shots with metallic nets. She graduated in photography from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Nantes. She has participated in many fairs and exhibitions, including the Salon d'Automne in Paris.
