About The Artwork
expand_more
The painting captures the essence of human existence through the portrayal of a female figure in "child’s pose," a yoga position known for its grounding and restorative qualities. The subject’s posture, which signifies introspection and surrender, aligns with themes of nature and the elemental act of breathing, emphasizing the interconnectedness of body, mind, and environment. The title, "Pneuma," meaning "soul," reflects the painting's focus on exploring the inner self. The composition evokes a sense of calm and presence, symbolizing the human connection to nature and the fundamental rhythms of life. This piece serves as a reflection on the soul’s journey towards unity with the natural world, highlighting the balance between inner peace and the world around us.

About the artist

Melinda is a London based artist, she was born as an ethnic Hungarian in Romania in 1976. In 2009 she graduated from the University of Art and Design, Cluj-Napoca receiving her BA in Fine Art, Painting. She earlier studied Fresco Painting and worked until 2012 as a mural painter in churches of Transylvania. She moved to England in 2013.
Melinda’s interest in psychology and her research for understanding the source that adds meaning to ones life is one of the major influences in her work. Her main focus is the human condition, the internal world one experiences amidst the expectations of society.
In her creative process colour and texture are equally important, as well as the deconstruction of forms which allows her to find an equilibrium between figuration and abstraction. Though she considers herself a figurative painter, the dynamism she creates through breaking up the forms sometimes make her work look abstract from a close view.
