Melinda Horvath aka. Melinpiro
My name is Melinda Horváth, I work as a project manager in Budapest in an environment full of engineers and complex technologies, which gives me the perfect relaxation to experience my creativity. In 2019, I got to know the pyrograph (burnt on wood) technique in a self-taught way, I have no prior art training. I started depicting the woman by burning an effigy of Audrey Hepburn, which has been an inexhaustible topic ever since. I found it exciting to use bright, glowing colors for the browns of burnt wood, so I also work with acrylics. In 2023, I joined several Hungarian artist circles, thanks to which I now have 13 juried works, last year I had the opportunity to show my pictures at exhibitions for the first time. Today I still create for my own pleasure and entertainment. This special technique, which dates back to ancient times, inspires more and more interesting topic ideas, for which I now also involve artificial intelligence in the brainstorming. The smell of burnt wood and the deepened creation process are great companions on my journey of self-discovery.
