<p class="p1">Melanie Francesca&rsquo;s artistic endeavours have garnered widespread acclaim from contemporary cultural circles, including the esteemed aristocracy. At the core of her work lies a profound spirit of provocation, a mission that Melanie fervently embraces to challenge perceived stagnation within figurative art.</p>

<p>&laquo;I met Melanie on television. I remember the effect she had on me: with her personality Melanie struck me immediately. She was so free, so different. She is independent, proud, curious, original. A free spirit who does not let himself be caged, one outside the pack. Shee has her own approach to life. It's very interesting to talk to her, it's nice to listen to her: she helps you see the world from other angles, she reads the world differently. And then she is such an attractive girl, so pretty&hellip;&raquo;</p>

                    <p>This is how Oliviero Toscani, one of the world's eminent photographers, eloquently portrayed Melanie Francesca in Max magazine, a prominent Italian publication. Remarkably, Melanie's essence has remained largely unchanged since 2003. During that era, Melanie emerged with an unwavering determination to transform the world and challenge societal norms. Toscani invoked Einstein's renowned adage and aptly described Melanie as follows: 'Free spirits like Melanie Francesca have always provoked violent reactions in mediocre minds.' She showcased an exhibition of her drawings at the Cortina gallery in Milan, using art as a powerful medium to disrupt a perceived stagnant status quo &ndash; a mission she defined as essential.<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px; background-color: transparent;">&nbsp;</span></p>

<p><span>The former model, now a radio and TV commentator, maintains a consistent presence on leading Italian radio and television networks such as RAI and Mediaset. Furthermore, she holds a weekly column in significant Italian magazines. Over the years, she has authored 14 books, encompassing nine novels, firmly establishing herself as a prosperous writer. And presently, due to the translation of one of her works, "The Angel," we too have the opportunity to delve into its pages and uncover "the keys to transmuting profound emotions into the enlightenment of self-awareness.</span></p>

<p><span>As Francesco Aberoni, the renowned Italian sociologist, eloquently penned in the preface of "Il Maestro," published by Cairo Editore and Rizzoli: "Melanie Francesca serves as a poignant reminder that life's tapestry comprises contrasts, both light and shadow, and contradictions. Beauty radiates from these depths, emerging from obscurity, and it's within this intricate weave that humanity's strength and resilience reside. The artist displays the audacity to contemplate existence with an unflinching gaze, mingled with a clever touch of irony. She opens a portal for us all to peer into these ruminations, transcending apprehensions and biases, permitting herself to be carried by her emotions and her yearning to share what is a true expression of her essence. From literature to poetry to drawings, Melanie Francesca's art issues a compelling invitation to relish the spectrum of experiences and nuances that our world, both today and in times past, unfailingly bestows upon us."</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span>She pursued her education at the esteemed Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, a pinnacle of art education in Italy, which immersed her in a realm of boundless creativity and inspiration. Amidst her academic pursuits, she embarked on a modeling journey in Paris, stepping into a world of glamour and allure. This path not only allowed her to explore diverse landscapes but also enriched her reservoir of experiences. Her career led her on a global odyssey, particularly in the Middle East, leaving an indelible mark on her life choices. Gracing the covers of esteemed and popular fashion magazines, her presence became ubiquitous in television appearances and photo shoots, catapulting her into the modern realm of fame.</span></p>

<p>Nevertheless, her whirlwind glamorous existence took a profound turn when she encountered a charming Emirati man. This serendipitous encounter ignited a deep and profound love within her, prompting her to make the life-altering decision to step away from the captivating realm of fashion and embrace a future alongside him. Embarking on this new journey, she bid adieu to the glitz and sparkle, embracing a lifestyle of deeper significance. From that juncture, her world underwent a transformative shift, revolving around her family and children, and she embraced her role as a mother with unwavering ardor, cherishing each moment spent with her cherished offspring. Establishing her nurturing haven between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, her artistic fervor remained undiminished. Her connection to writing and art persisted, fueled by a profound belief that self-expression was her ultimate raison d'&ecirc;tre. With unyielding dedication, she continued to cultivate her creative inclinations.</p>
<p>Nestled between two realms, the Western and the Middle Eastern, bound in a two-decade-long union with an Emirate, she has woven a beautiful family tapestry that forms a continuous wellspring of inspiration for her literary works. Comprising 14 books, her latest volume of poetry, endorsed by the eminent Italian psychologist Maria Rita Parsi, is hailed as "capable of unveiling the essence that transcends and resides within reality, awakening the human spirit to the realm of the spiritual, unearthing truth. A literary counterpart to James Joyce, inviting readers to unlock doors hidden in the depths of the subconscious."</p>

<p>It's precisely on this quest for authenticity, beauty, and the sacred that "The Angel," recently released in English by Europa Editions, finds its place. The novel offers an ascent from the cacophony of daily life to the serene realm of soul and love.</p>
<p>The narrative is undoubtedly captivating: Set in early 2000s Paris, an angel becomes enamored with Dixi, a delicate model. Born into an affluent French family rooted in the bourgeoisie, Dixi navigates life's challenges on her own, a girl lost in the turbulence of an uncertain existence, ensnared in a passionate but tumultuous relationship with a gypsy. As her emotions are toyed with and she's drawn into a series of grim events, the spirit Alan remains a constant presence, eventually revealing himself within the refuge and solace of the city's churches. The angel imparts wisdom to Dixi, advising, "You have to observe yourself when you feel a painful emotion, because that is the door to self-awareness."</p>
<p>As proclaimed by the authoritative Italian newspaper CORRIERE DELLA SERA (2019): "THE ANGEL is an intimate narrative that eschews sentimentality and superficial allure. Against the backdrop of timeless Paris, an angel seems to exist in a pre-enlightenment realm. For Dixi, she becomes a blend of legend and dreams... Exploring life and the intricate layers of souls that respond to the world's breath."</p>

<p>Melanie Francesca has emerged as a renowned artist through "The Box," an installation fostered under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, the former Minister of Culture of the United Arab Emirates, now Minister of Tolerance. His description of Melanie eloquently encapsulates his belief in her: "Melanie Francesca's talent lies in her extraordinary mastery and technical prowess to merge her form of prayer to the universe, nature's omnipotence, and the grandeur of humanity. In an era dominated by technology, her work exudes a message of freedom, hope, and undeniable modernity."</p>
<p>"The Box" forms a bridge between classical mythology and contemporary comprehension. Resplendent as a lightbox, it stands as a tangible structure, a 400-kilogram fabric and metal construction measuring three by three meters, with a height of 2.5 meters. It beckons visitors to step inside and embark on an intimate journey through the annals of human history. A creation aimed at restoring philosophical dignity to a figurative representation of today, often trampled upon and confined to craftsmanship, "The Box" is a testament to Melanie's visionary, dreamlike poetic ingenuity. As described by Maria Rita Parsi, the esteemed Italian psychologist, Melanie is an author who propels imagination boundlessly, without confines. It's both a compliment and an aspiration to liberate our minds and soar to elevated domains of the soul.</p>
