Visual Essay The Farewells

Melina Gutman

“The Farewells” is a project that explores the different ways in which we say goodbye, either when someone goes on a trip or when we face a loss. It is a look at the rituals and emotions that surround these moments, beyond cultures or places, to connect with something that we all, at some point, have experienced.

I am a painter and illustrator, and in addition, I studied Image and Sound Design at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). I have attended drawing, painting and comics classes with Grupo Presente, Leandro Waibe, and Decur. During 2023, I took a postgraduate course in illustration at the FADU, UBA. I also create Personarios, a personal project of illustrated collections of people's favorite things. At the moment I am finishing my first graphic novel called "Is This All There Is?", this project received the grant for the creation of the Fondo Municipal de las Artes de Vicente López 2020.
