About Melike
I am a visual & street artist. Originally from Izmir and now based in Munich, I have spent over 5 nomadic years traveling and painting around the world, exploring the globe for inspiration. I draw from the dynamic cultures I've encountered, infusing my work with vibrant colors and abstract lines that interact with the central theme. My artistic focus revolves around the harmony of hybrid life, emphasizing the equality among humans, animals, and nature. With over 15 years of experience in graphic arts and design, complemented by 6 years dedicated to muralism and street art, I possess a versatile skill set that spans traditional techniques to cutting-edge digital tools. I'm driven by the limitless potential of creativity and eager to share my art with a wider audience.
