Merissa Lombardo

A contemporary artist whose practice traverses painting, sculpture, and mixed media, she cultivates vibrant, tactile works that invite active participation from viewers. Rooted in a fascination with memory, perception, and the passage of time, her pieces weave found materials with intuitive mark-making and bold color relationships. Public installations and gallery presentations alike emphasize process as a living dialogue between object and observer, with light, shadow, and form guiding the experience. Across bodies of work, there is a consistent interest in layering meaning, ritual, and the domestic through an artist’s lens. She pursues collaboration and experimentation, continually expanding the language of her studio practice.
