Melvin Toledo is a self-taught, Nicaraguan born artist based in Atlanta. His work ranges from still life to portraiture as well as landscape painting. He is currently working in a series of portraits of immigrants living in the United States. Through this work, he shares the stories of people of different ethnicities and backgrounds to celebrate and honor their life, their work and their culture. He explores the complexities of the immigrant experience in a country that claim to be made by and for immigrants but has a history of rejecting those that are presently arriving.
Recent exhibitions include Something to Declare at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art and the Quinlan Arts Center in Gainesville, GA; Bullets and Bandaids Volume 4 traveling exhibition; New York Latin American Triennial in NYC and Artfields, Lake City, SC.
