" In the irreverent world of Marcelo de Melo, mosaics are a launching point for his ideas and perceptions.
Pushing the boundaries of traditional techniques, de Melo uses materials only as a means to an end, that end being the impassioned request to stimulate the viewer to the thoughts beyond the physical piece."
( JoAnn Locktov)
" With a strongly cultivated and eclectic training, he has translated into the language of mosaic a view permeated with the denunciation of contemporaneity, with an increasingly social and, at the same time, fiercely ironic and sacrilegious style.
De Melo ’s" modus operandi" is close, as an artistic practice, to the expressive and poetic line of other Brazilian artists such as Vik Muniz or to the designers Humberto and Fernando Campanha in the valorisation and experimental and symbolic use of raw and recycled materials perceived as waste, yet elevated to the level of artistic material, while maintaining their quality and history."
