For more than two decades, artist and curator Meclina Gomes, has built a multidisciplinary practice grounded in storytelling, healing, and human connection. Her work explores the intersections of identity, memory, and regeneration through her signature style of manifesting micrography—an intricate art form that layers poetry, affirmations, and narrative text within richly textured compositions. Each piece becomes both visual meditation and invitation, offering viewers a moment of reflection and renewal.
Gomes’ art has been featured in galleries, museums, boutique hotels, and public spaces across the country. Her long-term partnership with the Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel, where she has served as Resident Artist for six years, stands as a testament to her ability to transform environments into living experiences of beauty and meaning. Her works also appear in collections for Bergdorf Goodman, Marriott, designers, and museums, merging fine art with contemporary design.

As a curator, Gomes brings a collaborative approach rooted in equity, storytelling, and the belief that art is a vessel for connection. Currently serving as Guest Curator at the Boston Center for the Arts, she will lead an exhibition that amplify diverse voices and invite deeper public engagement. Her curatorial vision is informed by years of community-based projects that bridge the worlds of art, wellness, and education.

Guided by intuition and a deep reverence for the natural world, Gomes continues to shape spaces—both physical and emotional—where art becomes medicine, and creativity becomes a pathway to collective healing.
