Yvonne Melchers – Painter of Realism and Atmosphere
Based in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, Yvonne Melchers creates figurative oil paintings that reflect her love for both the cool light of the North Sea and the warmth of Italian life. Her main series include The North Sea, Italian Scenes, Siena Palio Portraits, and Rooms with a View, painted with a fresh, limited palette inspired by Claude Monet.

​

Melchers has exhibited in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and the U.S., with works shown at Museum Møhlmann and included in collections such as the Academic Medical Center Amsterdam. Her portraits and scenes have been finalists or semi-finalists in renowned competitions like the BP Portrait Award (London), Figurativas (Barcelona), and the ARC Salon (USA).

​

In 2024 and 2025, eleven of her works are being launched to the Moon as part of Dr. Samuel Peralta’s Lunar Codex project.
