Melinda Muscat

Melinda is a Surrealist at heart, drawing inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch, who’s work she saw at age seven. The magical world of The Garden of Earthly Delights transformed her vision of how amazing life can be when the imagination is free. And since then she’s made it her focus to create wonderlands of her own.

A true believer in colour she has a passion to make the world around her as colourful as possible. “Why should the world be grey or beige? Why should we conform to everyone else’s style or fashion??? Be yourself, be brave, have fun, let your imagination run wild, who knows what you can create until you let yourself be free, be you!”

At artschool Melinda started doing wall size charcoal drawings as part of her journey into creating her own wonderlands. She’s had installation style exhibitions at Backspace Gallery.

Now in conjunction with BMI, together with Zlatko Balazic and Human Designs, Melinda has been able to truly experience and share in true sensory overload style an immersive experience of her artwork larger than life.

Transforming from one image to another, together with Zlatko’s ingenious meeting of minds style interactive creations, viewers are made welcome to play, hear, see a world transformed by their interaction with the artworks.

Come be a part of our magical wonderland experience at BMI.

And afterwards come experience another of Melinda’s wonderlands – The Ballarat Imaginarium, which showcases not just her own work but that of over one hundred local Ballarat artists, writers, musicians and makers, just at the front of BMI.
