Surreal sanctuaries for self-discovery and quiet rebellion.

MADX is the art world of Melanie Rothwell — a New York City artist formally trained at Pratt Institute, working at the intersection of painting, photography, digital art, AI collage, and motion design.

Her work begins in the physical world. Oil paint. Pencil on paper. A camera catching a rare angle. Then, layer by layer — digital painting, AI collage, motion — each piece becomes something that couldn't exist any other way. Every concept and visual world is conceived and directed by Melanie, realized with a small circle of trusted creative collaborators.

Inspired by mythology, human and animal emotion, water, dreams, and nature's hidden patterns — her work invites you into realms that feel simultaneously ancient and impossible. Built to be felt, not just seen.
