About Monika Harmund Csanyi

 
 
  • Biography

    WELCOME TO MY COLORFUL WORLD OF OIL PAINTINGS!


    Hi, my name is Monika Harmund Csanyi. I‘m an award-winning contemporary oil painter. Creating art has been a part of my life since I first held a pencil in my hand, and I love sharing my colorful world with others.

    As an oil painter, I find inspiration in fragments of nature and manmade world. I love to see things from a different perspective, which perspective is also a part of our reality. My main goal is to open the eyes of the viewer and help others to realize how beautiful and colorful our life is. I would like to build bridges between the fantastic world around us and the people who appreciate the tiny, but precious and timeless moments. 


    MY STYLE

    My work is representational - sometimes with a little twist of photorealistic,  impressionistic or abstract elements. I tend to paint series in regard to the exploration of a particular theme or image. My oil paintings can be recognized from strong, intense colors and meticulously elaborated subjects. Currently my biggest passion is water, especially rain, and I’m working on a series using this element.
    I live in Central-Florida, in a quiet suburban area near to the Wekiva State Park, so I enjoy the rain every day from May until October. This really influences my work, such as my European origin. 

    I was born and raised in Budapest, Hungary – surrounded by rich culture, amazing architecture and treasures of nature, so my memories and experiences constantly inspire me.

    I am an associate member of Oil Painters of America (OPA), National Oil and Acrylic Painters' Society (NOAPS), American Women Artists (AWA) and the Winter Garden Art Association.

    BEST IN SHOW Award at The Gateway International Painting competition for June 2020

    My painting "Storm" won the BEST IN SHOW Award at The Gateway International Painting competition for June 2020.

    Judge and Category: Rick J. Delanty, Abstract Professional
    Judge's Comment: "One of my priorities in my own work as a representational painter is to always consider the role that abstraction plays in the creation of any work of art, and the honesty that can be directly communicated from the artist to the viewer in 'first strokes,' or marks, gestures, and movements created instinctually—and not 'tweaked' or overdone thereafter. It’s that quality of freshness and even the illusion of form and space that is conveyed in this work. The gradation across the work from right (light) to left (shadow) even appears to evoke a collection of stalactites dripping down from a cave ceiling. Abstraction allows the viewer to participate in the artwork by stimulating his own imagination, and allowing him to experience the work alongside the artist."

    2020

    BEST IN SHOW Award at The Gateway International Painting competition for May 2020

    The Gateway International Painting Competition - 2020 May

    My painting "Windshield 2" won the BEST IN SHOW Award at The Gateway International Painting competition for May 2020.

    Judge and Category: Debra Keirce, Abstract Professional
    Judge's Comment: "The title explains this painting in a representational sense. Yet, if you don’t know this is a scene through a car windshield on a rainy day, it is a series of shapes that explore movement in shadow. It could be a view of something exciting happening in space, an oil slick, a reflection. I enjoy this abstract piece because it engages the senses, and it is a window (pun intended) into the abstraction in our reality."

    2020

    BEST IN SHOW at The Gateway International Painting Competition - 2020 March

    My painting "Hudson and the city" won the BEST IN SHOW Award at The Gateway International Painting competition for March 2020.

    Judge and Category: Elizabeth Fontaine-Barr, Abstract Professional
    Judge's Comment: "This abstract painting has an intriguing quality. The artist has the talent to paint the rain in such a way that a deeper look is needed to discover the cityscape and soft clouds in the background. It is a very well orchestrated composition and use of a limited palette that truly holds the viewer engaged."

    Here’s the judge’s comment:
    “A massive, rising column of clouds looms over the land. We admire its magnificence, but also hope we’re not in its path! Aspects like skillful rendering, refined treatment of edges, naturalistic hues, and details such as the streak of sunlight cast across the landscape collaborate for an overall impression evoking the duality of forces in life.”

    Here’s the judge’s comment: "The artist immediately conveys to the viewer the feeling of an outside observer of life. Masterfully and subtly, the master conveyed all the details of wet and fogged glass. Looking at the picture, we almost physically feel the humidity of the air. The artist invites us to stop and solve the riddle, where does the person go, what is waiting for him?"

Biography

WELCOME TO MY COLORFUL WORLD OF OIL PAINTINGS!


Hi, my name is Monika Harmund Csanyi. I‘m an award-winning contemporary oil painter. Creating art has been a part of my life since I first held a pencil in my hand, and I love sharing my colorful world with others.

As an oil painter, I find inspiration in fragments of nature and manmade world. I love to see things from a different perspective, which perspective is also a part of our reality. My main goal is to open the eyes of the viewer and help others to realize how beautiful and colorful our life is. I would like to build bridges between the fantastic world around us and the people who appreciate the tiny, but precious and timeless moments. 


MY STYLE

My work is representational - sometimes with a little twist of photorealistic,  impressionistic or abstract elements. I tend to paint series in regard to the exploration of a particular theme or image. My oil paintings can be recognized from strong, intense colors and meticulously elaborated subjects. Currently my biggest passion is water, especially rain, and I’m working on a series using this element.
I live in Central-Florida, in a quiet suburban area near to the Wekiva State Park, so I enjoy the rain every day from May until October. This really influences my work, such as my European origin. 

I was born and raised in Budapest, Hungary – surrounded by rich culture, amazing architecture and treasures of nature, so my memories and experiences constantly inspire me.

I am an associate member of Oil Painters of America (OPA), National Oil and Acrylic Painters' Society (NOAPS), American Women Artists (AWA) and the Winter Garden Art Association.
