Developing an Art Style, Breaking Through Mental Blocks, Stoking Creativity | Melissa Libutti

In this episode of Keep The Hotel Empty (KTHE), we sit down with experimental painter and sculptor Melissa Libutti to explore the blurred lines between chaos and control in her work. Known for her evocative use of industrial materials and layered abstractions, Melissa shares the evolution of her process—from her early days making art in small, confined spaces to creating immersive, large-scale installations that challenge both physical and emotional boundaries. Her insights on form, memory, and impermanence open a compelling dialogue about the role of the artist in shaping space and meaning.
