The post Windshield 4 appeared first on MHC Fine Art by Monika Harmund Csanyi.

This painting has received a Finalist award at The Gateway International Painting Competition!!! All monthly finalists are chosen and critiqued by a different professional artist judge each month, and compete for Grand Prizes awarded in August 2020.
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?”

I’m extremely honored that my “Encounter” has been juried into the 53rd Founders Juried Awards Exhibition of Naples Art. The Gallery has received 900+ (!) artwork entries for this yearly national competition, and I’m so grateful that my painting is among the 50 finalist artworks showing at this amazing exhibition.

Founders exhibitions are a long-held tradition honoring the artists who came together in 1954 to create Naples Art, the first non-profit visual arts organization in Collier County, Florida. Founders exhibitions serve as a platform for local artists to share the spotlight with their peers at the national level. The brick-and-mortar exhibition will be on view in Naples, Florida from Dec. 6. 2019 – Jan. 9. 2020 . The jurors are: John Loscuito, Art Gallery Director, Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers; Robert Lovejoy, Art Professor at American University in Washington, D.C. and Erin Palmer Szavuly, Associate Professor and Art Dept.

The post Rainy Sunday appeared first on MHC Fine Art by Monika Harmund Csanyi.

Even in your darkest days you should be strong, because things will get better. It might be stormy now, but it can’t rain forever.
This abstract Manhattan painting is based on a reference photo I took from a boat in October 2019.

This painting 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.”

Feeling blue… and wild at the same time…

This painting 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.”
