Lava Flows 2 (2018) Картина - Lynda Stevens

I was born in the UK but since 1996 have lived and worked in Budapest, Hungary. I began my creative path at the age of 19 and to begin with was totally self-taught and it was always the aim to let images and impressions from within come more or less spontaneously. For me, the whole process has always represented a kind of 'soul work.' In the 1980's however, I did attend two fairly rigorous two-year part-time courses - the one diploma in painting at leamington College of FE and a Certificate in Craft Materials at Coventry University. These introduced me to several new techniques and a deeper understanding of art history.

I work mainly with mixed-media pieces on board using an array of material ranging from glass fragments, fabric pieces and wax. I am fascinated by materials that reflect and use a myriad of gold hues, silvers and luminescents against matt backgrounds.

I also create mixed-media paper collages, again, usually in A4 size. In these, I tend to employ a bastardised marbling technique for the background and then work into each composition using ink pen, gel pens, metal flakes and fragments of other paper, or materials with either holographic or luminescent surfaces.

I currently have several pieces represented by the Szentendre-based, virtual MiDo Galéria.

I am actively involved in the alternative Budapest art scene, participating in one-night events such as the Vad Art exhibitions, and am part of a well-established life drawing group, through which I have had the opportunity twice now to participate in two group exhibitions at prestigious venues. Since pandemic restrictions, I have also been participating again in the weekly Gozsdu Montmartre event, at Gozsdu Court in the city centre of Budapest.

Whilst in Coventry, England in the late 80's and early 90s, I exhibited regularly with an assorted group of artists called the 'Dream Illustrators' based near the city centre, as well as putting on solo exhibitons. I also lived in Brighton from 1994-1996 and exhibited with the Best Cave Gallery in several group exhibitions.
