Descriptions:
Mama I’m Coming Home is an expressive oil painting on canvas that captures the emotional pull of memory, comfort, and return. Built through confident, layered brushstrokes, the portrait emerges in fragments of color and form, suggesting a figure shaped as much by feeling as by likeness.
Soft pastels blend with deeper blues, reds, and earth tones, creating a tender balance between vulnerability and strength. The looseness of the composition allows emotion to lead, evoking intimacy, longing, and the quiet reassurance of belonging. This original work offers collectors a deeply human presence that feels personal, reflective, and timeless.

About The Artwork
expand_more
It is inspired by the universal longing for home, a theme that often appears in Melinda’s work. The painting reflects the cycle of leaving and returning, capturing the deep emotions tied to homecoming. Melinda drew a parallel to Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, where the protagonist’s journey for treasure ultimately leads him back to where he started, realizing what he was searching for was there all along. This idea mirrors the painting’s portrayal of the vulnerability and anticipation of being away, and the enduring hope of returning home.

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.
