In Hungary, along the beautiful Danube River, one can witness the graceful presence of cranes. Upon encountering these magnificent creatures, my curiosity was piqued, prompting me to explore their symbolic significance in various cultures. In Japan, the crane holds a special place among a realm of mystical and sacred creatures, symbolizing both good fortune and longevity. According to Japanese folklore, cranes are said to live for a thousand years, embodying a remarkable lifespan. Often referred to as the "bird of happiness," the crane is believed to carry departed souls to paradise, gracefully transporting them on its wings. Additionally, waves have long been regarded as symbols of the gods of the seas. The powerful and undulating patterns of churning waves represent strength and resilience, reminding us of the mighty forces of nature.

Sri Ramakrishna (master of Swami Vivekánanada) in the XIX. is considered one of the greatest saints of 19th century India. Detailed accounts of his eventful life, his devotion to the Mother of God Káli, his divine experiences, the often seemingly strange happenings of his everyday life, his teachings and his students, are left to us, which are summarized in the book titled "The Divine Swan". Reading the book inspired the creation of the painting. In the painting, in the left corner, you can see a crow on its way down. Due to the dark background and the more relaxed pictorial solutions, this part of the image may seem tired and difficult, while the swan turns towards the light, almost a silhouette of light surrounds its figure, it is about to take off. The two birds are twisted together, created from each other, yet they oppose each other. From this, we can conclude the deeper meaning of the image, i.e. that the crow basically symbolizes a difficult life situation, or pain, which can be released through transformation, and can develop into strength and inspiration in a person's life through interpretation.

In Roman mythology, Fortuna is the personification and goddess of luck, fate, and the contingencies of life (Jupiter's first daughter). The meaning of her name: yield, yield, perhaps a Latinized version of the Etruscan Vortumna, which means a girl who turns every year. The symbol of its unpredictability is the wheel of fortune. In the Middle Ages, the wheel of Fortuna symbolized the capricious rotation of human life, following the ancient topos. This is perhaps a name referring to the cycle of life, which culminated in the medieval proverb Bona Rotae (rotating of fate).
The artist's skillful use of blue shades creates a serene and ethereal atmosphere, immersing viewers in a world of tranquility and contemplation. The fluidity of the girl's movements suggests a sense of grace and freedom, as if she is effortlessly navigating the depths of an underwater realm.

In the dynamic world of international art, a new form of figurality emerges, blending painting techniques, dimensions, and social criticism. Artists like Oli Epp, Sarah Slappey, Emma Stern, and Austin Lee, whom I closely follow, excel in this surreal-abstract fusion. While their works often feature provocative elements such as artificial nails and exaggerated body parts, they serve as reflections of our times and convey a sense of internal moral order. As our world increasingly embraces avatars over physical presence, it becomes crucial for art to explore human consciousness and existence.
"One of my recent creations, originally a diptych titled "Inward" and "Outward," holds a striking resemblance to Jeff Koons' iconic balloon dog. Through its box-like arrangement and the grid illusion in the background, the "Outward" piece critiques kitsch culture while humorously and distortedly portraying the workings of our superficial society and consumer market."

This painting was inspired by an eosin-glazed ceramic, which piqued the artist's interest in exploring the possibilities of replicating the eosin effect using paints. Additionally, the artist was intrigued by the surreal and mystical atmosphere created by this effect. In the original statue, a girl is depicted drawing water. However, in the artwork, both the girl and the water share the same gender due to the colors used. This symbolism allows viewers to easily associate the act of immersing one's feelings and love into the world, or drawing inspiration and strength from within their own soul.

The saying, "When one door closes, another one opens" by Alexander Graham Bell, resonates strongly in this creative journey of this painting. Alongside a sculptural female silhouette, the artist visually expresses this theme through the presence of black and white doors, symbolizing the transformative nature of opportunities.
While technical experimentation played a significant role in the artist's previous series, the focus has shifted. The primary goal now is to convey a message and depict an abstract concept. This evolution brings forth a deliberate approach, where spontaneity and chance take a backseat to the intentional creation of meaning.
In this remarkable artwork, Melinda invites viewers to contemplate the endless possibilities that lie beyond closed doors. Through the interplay of symbolism and deliberate execution, the painting speaks volumes about the transformative power of embracing new opportunities. Step into this captivating world and let the artist's vision inspire you to embrace the ever-present potential that awaits.

"Each work is a call to personal and collective memory.

The figure's posture, bracing themselves in a position of vulnerability and surrender, speaks to the universal experience of seeking solace and rest in the midst of life's turbulence. This poignant portrayal prompts viewers to pause and reflect on their own relationship with rest, tranquility, and the challenges that surround them.
The chaotic environment that envelops the sleeping figure serves as a metaphor for the complexities and uncertainties of the world around us. It prompts us to consider how we navigate through the noise and distractions of life, seeking moments of stillness and introspection to find clarity and inner peace.
As we immerse ourselves in the contemplative atmosphere of "Sleepiness," we are encouraged to look inward, to explore our own inner landscapes, and to consider how we can find moments of respite and reflection amidst the chaos of our daily lives. The painting becomes a mirror through which we can examine our own relationship with rest, self-care, and the pursuit of inner harmony.

The use of a blue dress worn by the woman can be symbolic of tranquility, peace, and harmony. Blue is often associated with serenity and relaxation, reflecting the peaceful state of mind that the woman in the painting is experiencing as she rests on the couch.
The painting serves as a gentle reminder to prioritize our well-being and to embrace moments of quietude and rejuvenation, ultimately emphasizing the value of nurturing our inner selves in the midst of life's hustle and bustle.

"Dreams of an AI" is a series of three paintings created between June 2023 and 2024, exploring the psychological concept of the "uncanny valley" - the uneasy feeling elicited by objects that closely resemble humans but fall short, sparking a mix of sympathy, disgust, and fear.
This phenomenon extends beyond humanoid objects to all visual realms, including those generated by AI. Through realistic color contrasts and shadow play, my paintings offer a sense of comfort akin to our familiar world. However, juxtaposed sharp contrasts, soft spots, and unrecognizable surfaces create an eerie, unsettling atmosphere that prompts viewers to interpret and explore further.
The motif of games in my work holds strong emotional significance, as they mimic reality but exist on the uncanny curve. Humanoid features in these games trigger a mix of affection and "cute aggression," where our desire to care can unexpectedly turn into aggression. By evoking such intense reactions, cuteness is a common tool in media to elicit responses, though the long-term effects are still unknown.
Through this series, I aim to provoke a lasting impression in viewers, igniting internal reflection and leaving a memorable impact.

"Shining" is a series that I began in January 2024, using spray paint and pastel chalk. The artworks in this collection are created in a serene and mesmerizing style. Objects seem to float in space, with surfaces having a subtle plasticity that allows the focus to shift to the interplay of colors and shapes.
The deliberate arrangement of colored spots and the flowing shapes guide the viewer's gaze, inviting them to explore a unique visual realm within the artwork.

"Deleted Files of Childhood" is a series that began in March 2024, with some pieces currently in progress. These artworks delve into the impact of traumatic childhood memories on our brain structure, even if we cannot consciously recall them.
The series serves as a metaphor for how just the act of viewing these paintings can create new connections in the brain, sparking subtle but significant changes. The settings depict children's rooms with an eerie atmosphere, drawing inspiration from the unsettling "Backrooms" theory explored in various art videos. These videos present infinite, slightly different corridors and rooms, each evoking a distinct mood.
Through figures leaping out of planes, unidentifiable objects, and disorienting lights and shadows, the paintings challenge viewers to question the space and location depicted. The aim is to provoke initial confusion and inspire a deeper exploration of the forms and the enigmatic spaces portrayed. By encouraging internal interpretation and reflection, the series prompts viewers to confront their own unsettling and chaotic inner memories.

"Membraneverse" is the title of one of my series, where the concept of a membrane represents an enclosure or limitation, drawing from its biological significance. In my artistic journey, I often find myself grappling with form, occasionally encountering obstacles or "membranes" that create barriers between my creations and me. These barriers, akin to blocks, are surprisingly relatable in the realm of art reception and psychology, as we all face our own internal barriers."
Just as biological membranes are crucial for cellular life, shaping the internal composition of cells, the imagery in Membraneverse functions similarly in the art world. Amorphous shapes enclosed within delimited boundaries float as distinct entities within the artwork, juxtaposed against a vast, open space. This interplay mirrors the complexities found in microbiology, where boundaries and free space coexist in harmony. (Source: Taurus Cornu Petit - What is art informal? podcast conversation)

The work "Repetitions and repetitions" is also another example of the already mentioned background/figure duality - form as repression. Shapeless signs that resemble wounds and soak up paint, repeating a single theme, enliven the screen printing technique of pop art, however, instead of a mechanical process, the manually inflicted wounds create a perforated membrane from the background, which produces permeable cuts in a ribbon-like manner - these distinguishing metaphysical trickles continue they continue the tradition of the dialectical movement of photorealism-abstraction primarily associated with Richter and Polke, and present a new version of the psychoanalytic dynamic of masking/sighting. The retro-fetishistic relationship between contemporary neo-abstraction and manual processes points to the post-production tendencies of abstract painting suffering from a lack of future vectors and critical imperatives[1], which alienates it from the community and banishes this aesthetic to an individual space-time. Alíz Menta Sipos takes advantage of this vulnerability to space-time - the conscious attraction to radical solitude and confinement, the nihilistic attitude gives release from the eternal cycle and escapes her works from dozens of abstracts that blindly apply Greenbergian-formalist principles.

It is important for both the artwork and the artist to tap into their raw and authentic reality, free from logic and comprehension. We need to acknowledge that all these aspects exist within us simultaneously and embrace them in a secure environment. It may be our role to bridge the gap between our inner selves and others. I believe that beyond our sophisticated communication efforts, we also require raw, unfiltered encounters. Informal painting, with its abstract expression in creation and reception, serves as a powerful conduit for this profound connection, allowing for direct and unmediated engagement.
The concept of freedom of the press extends to freedom of art as well. Does art abide by restrictions on expression? Can artistic form restrict what needs to be conveyed in a different context? What boundaries govern the transfer of ideas into print? These questions challenge the confines of verbal communication.
