Melinda Borysevicz

Melinda Borysevicz (b.1970, New York) is an Italian-American figurative artist currently living and working in rural southern Italy. Her recent narrative portrait and figure paintings spring directly from her sometimes surreal personal experience of having re-discovered her ancestral home and often reflect a more universal sense of longing and searching. The characters in her work are often either in motion or caught in an implied desire to move/escape, no longer completely satisfied to oblige the invention of boundaries or borders, whether they be physical, emotional or spiritual.

Borysevicz received a BFA in Painting from Savannah College of Art and Design (Savannah, GA) magna cum laude. Her work was recently selected for Manifest Gallery’s International Painting Annual as well as for Figurativas 19 at the European Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona, where she has previously exhibited. She has also exhibited at the Museo Pablo Sarrano in Zaragosa Spain, the RJD Gallery in New York, Abend Gallery in Colorado, and numerous locations in Georgia, Virginia, Ohio, Texas, and Italy.
