"I am
Mellius,
Universalist"
The stories of Heptakosmoj are told by Mellius. He writes novels, paints, draws, composes music, directs videos and performances, designs clothing and jewelry, and much more. In short, he creates universes. With his work he aims to contribute to the spiritual freedom of the world we live in. That’s why he created the Heptakosmoj universe.

Enter the worlds of
Heptakosmoj
Although the work of Mellius stretches from paintings to novels to videos, music and more, they are all somehow interconnected. All part of Heptakosmoj, seven worlds that tell the stories about decay, polarity, destiny, love, unity, identity and redemption. His work is Holistic Fiction. You are invited to journey through the different pieces of art to experience the bigger picture.
Atelier of
Mellius,
Universalist"
The Atelier is where Mellius can be found almost 24/7. Located in the city’s most avant-garde neighbourhood in Amsterdam-Noord, the 2500 m2 industrial space is now the birthplace of his Holistic Fiction. From the outside a small inconspicuous door leads to a thrilling experience: Heptakosmoj brought to life.

Collaborations
Heptakosmoj is a mega-project and would not be possible without the contribution of several collaborators. Somehow Mellius always seems to attract the right people at the right time.
