About the Artist

Born to a family of goldsmiths, Meppayil transposes in her works the techniques and materials associated with this ancestral savoir-faire into a contemporary plastic language that belongs to the modernist canon, whether by embedding copper wires—and more rarely remnants of gold or silver—in layers of white gesso, or by marking its surface with tools traditionally used by goldsmiths. She works on the technical dimension of the artistic practice, focusing on materials and instruments.
