MELISSA REY X SON ANTHEM

Melissa Rey is an artist whose work is deeply inspired by nature, with trees serving as her central subject and source of symbolism. Working in acrylic and oil, she incorporates touches of 24k gold leaf to highlight moments of light, reverence, and resilience within the natural world.

Her paintings explore themes of growth, grounding, and transformation, using layered textures and organic forms to evoke both strength and stillness. Through her work, Rey invites viewers to slow down and reconnect with the quiet, enduring presence of nature.

This piece, created for Son Anthem, shimmering with the allure of gold, draws its inspiration from the serene elegance of olive trees. The gold infused strokes mimic the setting sun dancing through contorted branches, reflecting the timeless beauty and resilience of olive trees. The artwork evokes a sense of harmony between the natural world and human creativity, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the enchanting aura of the Mediterranean landscape.

Melissa’s work captures a feeling: the solace of the natural world, which has been a consistent source of rejuvenation and healing for her.
