Jonas Benjamin Melara

 We have created this website in memory of Jonas Benjamin Melara, for sharing some of his creations as an artist and some of his important moments of his life we can recall through pictures and videos. After he passed away the 25th of January 2021, what surprised us like the goodbye of the Little Prince of the book as a early departure, we have found that he has left behind a lot of beautiful presents in the shape of computer files that he had been editing and creating in his silent moments with his computer. Summaries and dialogs for his future movies, pictures that show us his way to see the world, partitures and recordings of music that fascinated him or that he composed by himself, videos he was filming and editing... Add to this there is a lot of great audiovisual material that we, his family and friends, have gathered about his life and his process of growing in his 21 years. On this website you can also find some tributes and things people have made in his memory after he crossed the limits of life and death. 

We are very thankful with everybody that helps us to keep his memory alive!
