Melanie Vugich’s still life paintings are a joyful celebration of colour, form and the quiet beauty found in everyday objects. Her richly detailed compositions often feature fresh flowers, fruit, vintage textiles and handmade ceramics – arranged with care and painted with a deep appreciation for pattern, texture and harmony.
Guided by intuition and emotion, Melanie’s work reflects her unique ability to elevate the ordinary into something poetic. Each painting invites viewers to slow down and rediscover the richness in life’s small moments – an overflowing vase, a sun-dappled table or a beautifully imperfect bloom. Her distinctive style, vibrant palette and refined sense of composition have earned her a loyal following among collectors and design lovers, both in Australia and internationally.
Each piece in this collection was either started or finished in the glorious month of April, when Sydney’s weather is at its beautiful best and many of my favourite flowers are in full bloom. The coastal banksias in my neighbourhood are magnificent during the autumn months, and I love setting them alongside magnolias, marigolds, sunflowers, hollyhocks and fleshy fruit.
The palette for “April” was inspired by the vibrant colours of Broken Hill, my outback hometown, which I visited a couple of times over the summer… The rusty desert hues served as a starting point and worked so seamlessly with the pink and gold backgrounds that regularly appear in my paintings.
