Tony Melendez paints his dreams.  He envisions every canvas as if he were in the subject matter himself.  Drawn to Medieval, Middle Eastern, and Renaissance cultural influences, Tony creates paintings alive with color and texture. 

One early influence in his work, was Rousseau with dream-like subject matter.  The broad strokes and linear objects are very visible in Tony's work.

Then there are the fabrics, each designed by Tony's detailed hands.  He almost sculpts the costuming on each individual.  His work is unique yet very true to the period he has researched for each canvas.

Finally, Tony melds all of these aspects into beautiful works of art, either stretched canvas or his unique painted tapestries.

he invites you to .......experience the magic and the wonder.

Tony's works are in private collections in the U.S. and around the world.
