About The Artwork

Silent distance, oil on linen, it's part of an ongoing project Melinda started during the pandemic, the project is titled "Are there Heroes behind closed doors?". *** "I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them.. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer." (R M Rilke - Letters to a young poet) *** Melinda says: "The lockdown has forced itself on many lives shifting their perspective on life, and I find this major shift meaningful in so many ways. Though I feel very sorry for those who have lost their lives or their loved ones.. I still see hope in what is happening though, the change, the obstacle can open new ways of seeing, reflecting and valuing life itself, and this way the pandemic can become a platform for something better in the future." *** The painting is signed and ready to hang, it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity right from the artist's studio. In case you would like additional images, please feel free to enquire.

-Melinda is based in London. Her work focuses on philosophical and empirical questions emerging out of human experience, both individual and collective. Her main focus is the human condition and one's internal world one experiences amidst the expectations of society. She is interested in the present and the past, her paintings explore different points of view on existence. -Experimenting with colour is important in her creative process, as well as partially deconstructing the forms which allows her to find an equilibrium between figuration and abstraction. -Melinda was born as an ethnic Hungarian in Transylvania (Romania) in 1976 under the communist regime, and as a teenager she witnessed the sudden uprising of the people, which eventually ended it. She found the transition between the silent acceptance into the outburst of desire for freedom fascinating. Later this brought up Melinda’s interest in Psychology. -In 2009 she graduated from the University of Art and Design, Cluj receiving her BA in Fine Art, Painting. -In 2013 she moved to England.
