Hailing from the vibrant city of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Isabella Mellado has distinguished herself in the field of art as a multi-faceted painter. In 2018, she attained her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design, and she is currently honing her craft further at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she anticipates earning her Master of Fine Arts in 2023.
Mellado has earned acclaim for her unique approach to magical realism in her paintings, creating illusionistic masterpieces that traverse the contours of latinidad and queer identity. Her artistic repertoire extends well beyond painting, demonstrating her versatility and ingenuity. Mellado deftly navigates a plethora of media, including installation art, performance, costume design, animation, digital collage, and sculpture. Thus, she is not only a painter but a comprehensive artist, continually pushing the boundaries of creative expression.
