MERELLO

INFLUENCED BY SPANISH AND ITALIAN ARTISTS

Merello attaches an importance to the

TECHNICAL

side of his art and his intense drawings are made with bold and sensual
brush strokes to create works which are both striking and seductive.
Merello recognizes Picasso, Matisse, Miró and other European painters as
important influences in his own paintings, but combines all the different
artistic schools to form a unique style he considers his own basing his
painting on the study of works from many of the world Masters found
displayed in the Prado Museum, Madrid.
