Mama, I'm coming home Painting by Melinda Matyas

Painting: Oil on Canvas.

Mama, I'm coming home, oil on canvas, is inspired by the longing for home, which is a recurrent idea in Melinda's work. There is a circular phenomenon as we come back to the place we left before. Melinda says: "The idea of homecoming is represented beautifully in the book of Paulo Coelho titled "The alchemist" where the hero leaves home for seeking the treasure and after many years of adversity and hardship he finds it at the very place he left. The feeling of insecurity while being away from home and at the same time the hope of returning back is the subject matter in the painting.
The painting is on stretcher bars so it's ready to hang and it is varnished to be protected for generations to come.

The sides of the painting are clean white, there are no paint drops or marks visible on it.
