"Melting I" is an abstract expressionist painting rendered in oil on canvas, capturing the powerful yet fragile essence of Iceland’s melting glaciers, dominated by cool shades of turquoise, contrasted with deep blacks, earthy browns, and stark whites. Three vertical lines at the top of the painting create a subtle rhythm. The textured layers of paint convey the raw, transformative process of melting, reflecting both the beauty and the urgency of environmental change. The abstract forms invite viewers to interpret the scene, balancing a sense of serenity with underlying tension. "Melting I" has painted sides, ready to hang. Signed on the front. Shipped in a box.

I was born May 25, 1990 in Subotica, Serbia. I finished my secondary school studies of graphic design in Subotica, then I graduated from the University of Szeged (Hungary) where my major was visual representation with specialization in painting. Although my painting is highly abstracted, we can discover worlds in the details – distant mountains, rivers, lakes and oceans, another world's moons and suns. One of the pillars of my painting method is the planned, controlled randomness, the conscious placement of gestures that may seem accidental on the canvas. While building up the composition, I pursue to paint instinctively with freedom. To quiet down the chaos, to balance these bold gestures, sweeping brush strokes and paint dribblings, I use geometric shapes – this way, a sense of harmony and calmness emerge in the restless composition. I try to wake up the viewers’ minds, to attract their attention, to evoke emotions. I want to encourage them to step out of their comfort zone, to be involved, to discover; to be not just a viewer, but to be an active part of my art, to be inside of the painting, a resident of my world.
