About this Event
Miami Artist Residency for Melissa DiVietri
artist abstraction:
During the development of this abstract collection, my art-style can be seen as a self-empowering process where my art entrenches a different emotional form for every observer depending on mood or current headspace. The emotion poured into each canvas is determined by an intangible or emotional-personality trigger that I was feeling which instills how abstract art is seen as the highest form of mind intelligence.
At first glance, each painting may represent an accurate image of something that is recognizable but as you begin to stare longer at its composition, new shapes take form showing levels of journeys that lead to deeper emotional thoughts and physical forms of reality. Each observer takes a journey into levels of their own imagination and thought-process through each canvas.
Why do I like the style of abstract?
To simply put, the inspiration of my paintings are pulled from my perception of personal life moments while creating a world for myself. I deal with heavily influenced situations that require quick thinking and decision making to get out of that situation. As an independent woman; I have been handling my own by making proper personal and business decisions to benefit what defines happiness for me; and whom to share energy with. I understand my value & worth through my level of creativity, materials, love, tears and fears that are put into every artwork. I’ve taken more risks than rewards because I am adaptable in every environment. I reflect my intentions with high-energy vibrance; a healing motive to pour myself into other people. BOOM! I select my color palette depending on my mood or location; but also considering what I want each person to feel emotionally as they observe the artwork exploring a new dimension from their mind:
1. What observations are take-aways
2. Which emotions reacted?
3. What’s the lesson of the story.
Locations are the biggest impact for how I get started. I recognize colors or lines that wi duplicated in my artwork; creating a memory in time. I have no planned idea or strategy before I begin painting… just my thoughts on how to overcome challenges that are directly in front of me; taking responsibility for the well-being of my life. You can't out perform my worth ethic. Time moves fast so you must be adaptable to change. Making art is my tool to stay relevant for capturing moments in time while creating new ones for each observer.
My inspiration behind painting reflects thousands of imaginary filing folders, each with lessons, that are being organized carefully in my headspace, then reproduced through my abstract art.
My emotional intelligence becomes more aware when I’m triggered from personal interactions, work or play deadlines or the random moments of being a go-getter, socialite in Miami. There are no rules or definitions when it comes to creating abstract art. The mastery comes down to layers and techniques; using different tools for patterns or lines. I enjoy exploring the idea of creating a world based on the composition within that square foot space. I over analyze and repeat situations in my headspace until the entire journey has been painted in front of me; a natural healing form.
Abstract is an intellectual healing form of art that can be figurative senses that connect emotionally in personal experiences like trauma, pain, happiness, love, remorse, guilt, pleasure, sad, flirty, moody, lazy and the list of reference goes on as a work of art metaphorically. - DiVietri
biography

There’s no surprise that MISSYDI hails from Detroit; as she is deeply driven by entrepreneurship, hustle and grit. DiVietri discovered her unique psychology at a childhood age to explore self-awareness through disability-empowerment.
DiVietri has persevered fourteen surgeries; and counting to gain mobility independence with guts over fear. Her condition is a rare spinal disease, sacral agenesis; a blessing that transitioned her mobility from full-body braces into a wheelchair to walker but currently using forearm crutches.
“I’ve built calluses in my brain; the same way that I’ve built them on my hands walking with my chains. My chains are the forearm crutches that are my permanent devices to my wrists that move my body for the rest of my life. I’ve always thought that I would work my way out of them; but the reality is that body is losing more calcium and mobility will become limited the next 24 months. This is a better version of my independence; more than 80% of my network doesn’t realize that I’ve spent half my life in a vegetable state in a chair with no lower body movement. It’s a miracle that I slay like this….” – MISSYDI
Her creative journey began at five years young; and continued as motivation to cope positively with her unique, physical differences. Her private life is heavily occupied by balancing time to treat her condition while working independently as an international novelty in the art space. She actively creates art murals, NFTs, original abstract paintings, live art-activations and live-painting with children / families and showbiz.
Art is her tool to slam confidence thru high energy that moves fast. She is actively running towards becoming the best version of a positive influence for humanity. We can get lost in things that might feel like they are important at the time and then forgot about what is really important for the mind to focus on. There is no better way to shine than a pure soul; that can be felt internally without looking at the external. ‘Your vibe attracts your tribe. Everything is a reflection of something else; and continues to be passed on thru other people. This beautiful moment allows every observer to see something different in each painting.
DiVietri is a Tedx Closing speaker on Disability Awareness, an advocate for Disability Rights and a leader / mentor and healer naturally for individuals surrounding her. She pours her energy into numbing the world for a moment, to get thru something together. Art takes time, healing takes longer.
