Aranka Székely

“It gives me great joy to be able to express my feelings on a canvas.”

Dr Aranka Székely was born in Unirea, Transylvania (Romania). Having graduated from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, she relocated to Hungary. A doctor by profession she is an artist by her passion and creative mind. She currently runs her private medical practice in Alsózsolca and Miskolc, Hungary.

Aranka had a very inquisitive, imaginative and innovative mind as a child. She experimented with a number of creative craft techniques and after trying her hand in many such creative pursuits, she came across an online tutorial teaching painting, which kindled her interest in fine arts. And after having a few art exhibitions painting become her life. It gives her unfathomable joy and relieves the every-day stresses.

Her works do not follow any particular genre nor can be slotted into any isms. She tried her hand in different styles of painting, from realistic to abstract. “I enjoy working with colours. It gives me great joy and to be able to express my feelings on a canvas”, says Aranka. Its the sheer joy of working towards creating an art piece that is rejuvenating and gratification enough for her.

Aranka’s colour palette is very vivid and at the same time, very feminine. Her paintings carry in them the imagery of spring, blossoms and everything happy! She is able to infuse these scenes of nature and foliage with tantalising narrative detail, making everything that is ordinary and commonplace come alive like a lyrical poem. Dry pastels, oil pastels, acrylic and watercolours are some of the mediums she takes delight in working with.
