About

Multidisciplinary visual artist.

I’m Charleton Mercelina, a multidisciplinary visual artist working across contemporary art, film and digital culture. I graduated from the Netherlands Film Academy in 2020, and my professional background spans filmmaking, design, VFX, game art and computer graphics.

My practice brings artistic research and professional image-making into the same field through independent experiments, collaborations, commissions and painting.

My independent work and freelance practice share the same foundation in image-making. This site brings together my artistic work and exhibition history; IVOOK is my professional portfolio for commercial projects.
