MICHELLE A VELLA

I’m Michelle Vella, a Toronto-based pop artist known for my bold, vibrant portraits and signature big eyes style. I’ve always been fascinated by the power of nostalgia and the emotional connections we form with cultural icons. Growing up, I was inspired by the joy and escapism that music, movies, and legendary figures brought to my life.

I paint because I believe in the power of art to bring joy, spark connection, and create shared memories. My mission is to transform spaces into places of happiness and meaning—where each piece becomes a source of joy and emotional resonance.

My work celebrates iconic figures who have shaped our cultural history and impacted our lives. I want my portraits to evoke nostalgia, inspire happiness, and ignite a sense of connection with the past while bringing vibrant energy to the present.

When you support my art, you’re not just buying a piece of decor—you’re embracing a story, a memory, a piece of cultural history. You’re joining a community that celebrates the legends who have inspired us, and you’re bringing a little more joy into the world.

Thank you for being here and for supporting my art. It truly means so much.

With gratitude and big-eyed joy,
Michelle Vella
