HAÏFA MELLITI

ARTIST BIO

Haïfa Melliti is a Franco-Tunisian painter and intuitive pianist whose artistic universe unfolds between mysticism, feminine energy, and Mediterranean light. Her creation is rooted in a profound dialogue between color, symbolism, and musical vibration. Each of her paintings becomes a talisman, a silent hymn where flowers, birds, moons, and sacred flames reveal the inner power of women.

Born between two shores — Tunis and Montpellier — Haïfa draws from her North African heritage a deep love for vivid colors, protective motifs, and ancestral traditions. Her work is inhabited by the memory of ancient women, invisible presences who carry strength, beauty, healing, and intuition. Through her portraits of modern goddesses, she reinvents a spiritual and vibrant visual language where symbols become prayers and every face tells a sacred story.

A self-taught artist guided by intuition, she also composes melodies at the piano. Her improvisations act as energetic gateways: they accompany her paintings, inspire her palette, and shape the inner rhythm of her gesture. This fusion between painting and music transforms her work into a complete sensory experience.

As the founder of two holistic institutes, Haïfa Beauty, she has developed a unique vision where art, beauty, and healing merge. She welcomes women as one welcomes light — with gentleness, reverence, and sacred intention.

In 2025, her work captured the attention of several European galleries. Awarded the Artista d’Europa Prize, she exhibited in Venice and will soon present her paintings in Rome. Her universe, instantly recognizable, captivates by its poetic force, intuitive depth, and talismanic aesthetic.

Haïfa Melliti embodies a new artistic path: one of spiritual, feminine, luminous art — an art that elevates, protects, and heals.


ARTIST STATEMENT

My art is born from an invisible realm, where color becomes breath and every symbol carries memory. I am Haïfa Melliti, Franco-Tunisian painter and intuitive pianist, and my work explores the sacred dialogue between light, emotion, and the feminine soul.

I create paintings as one opens an inner temple. My women are not portraits; they are presences, inner goddesses, ancestral archetypes whispering forgotten truths. Their eyes hold the strength of ancient women, their colors speak of healing, and their symbols protect and bless. Each work is a talisman, a colored prayer, a transformative space for anyone who contemplates it.

Music lies at the heart of my creative process. I improvise at the piano before I paint: the notes shape my colors, guide my gestures, and open energetic pathways. This intuitive vibration moves through my work like a breath, connecting every form to a deeper intention. My art becomes a fusion of sound and light, of the invisible and the tangible.

My inspirations rise from my Tunisian roots, from the women who came before me, from their rituals and silent strengths. My approach is instinctive and spiritual: I paint to honor, to illuminate, to heal. I seek to create a universal language that transcends borders and speaks directly to the soul.

With my work, I invite the viewer to reconnect with their own light, softness, and power. My art is for those who seek something alive, vibrant — something that does not simply hang on a wall but watches over, protects, and accompanies.

I paint to transmit:
beauty, memory, and light.
