Melinda Matyas - 2021

Oil on Canvas
Original Artwork
23.5 x 23.5 in

Descriptions:

Silk Road Souvenir is an intimate oil painting on canvas that captures a quiet moment of reflection shaped by memory, place, and identity. Soft, layered brushwork and a muted palette of pale blues, warm creams, and earthy neutrals create an atmosphere that feels both contemplative and timeless.

The seated figure appears poised between presence and introspection, surrounded by architectural patterns that subtly reference history and cultural exchange. Light and shadow move gently across the composition, suggesting vulnerability, resilience, and the quiet stories carried within the body.

At 23.5 x 23.5 inches, this original work offers collectors a thoughtful, human-centered piece that invites lingering attention and emotional connection.

About The Artwork

The painting explores themes of cultural identity and personal expression. The figure’s partially exposed form conveys a sense of sensuality, representing a narrative of cultural blending. The face covering she wears, which still allows her facial features to be seen, adds an element of mystery and cultural symbolism. This contrast invites viewers to reflect on the evolving nature of cultural and personal expression, as well as the ways in which identity can be both revealed and concealed.

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.
