Aranka Székely
Dr. Aranka Székely, born in 1966 in Transylvania, Romania, embarked on a multifaceted journey as both a medical professional and a passionate artist. After completing her studies at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, she made her home in Hungary, where she currently operates her private medical practice in Alsózsolca and Miskolc.
She is a self-taught artist who has explored various styles of painting, ranging from realistic to abstract, employing pastels, acrylics, and watercolors. Her vibrant color palette exudes femininity while showcasing her technical prowess. Despite her extensive participation in exhibitions and receiving numerous international awards, Aranka's foremost dedication lies in her profound passion for art. For her, creating art brings immense joy and serves as a powerful tool for managing daily stress.
Through her artworks, Aranka aims to share her innermost creativity, emotions, and experiences with observers, offering glimpses into the most joyful aspects of her life. Each brushstroke serves as a conduit for purifying and uplifting the soul, infusing her canvases with vitality. Aranka's creations have found their way into numerous art books and magazines across Europe and the USA, further amplifying her impact and reach within the global art community.
“The Romanian-born but naturalised Hungarian artist Aranka Székely is in some ways close to Chagall‘s dreamy expressive intentions, because for her, painting means finding a space away from everyday life in which to write a different story, made up of beautiful feelings and unforgettable moments that belong to pleasant and carefree days. In fact, her career as a doctor puts her constantly in contact with human suffering, so painting becomes a way of going beyond what is daily in front of her and instead letting flow all that is beautiful in life and that is much more in tune with her inner inclinations. The almost absolute protagonist of Aranka Székely‘s works is the woman, in all her facets, so sometimes a mother, sometimes a lover, sometimes simply herself in the many facets of her personality, almost as if her protagonists were an alter ego of the artist who from work to work chooses to highlight a side of her personality.” (Review from Marta Lock Italian art critic)
Dr. Aranka Székely was born in 1966 in Transylvania, Romania. Having graduated from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, she relocated to Hungary. Aranka is a doctor by profession and 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 mind as a child. She experimented with a number of creative craft techniques and after trying her hand in many creative pursuits, she came across an online tutorial teaching painting, which kindled her interest in fine arts. Ever since painting has become her life giving her joy, but the most important thing for her remains the passion for art, which gives her enormous satisfaction and helps her to cope with daily stress. Looking at her works, it is clear Aranka's intention to vent her creativity, her colours and her emotions on the canvases and dedicate to us observers, the most joyful side of her and of her life, which thanks to the brushstrokes purifies and cheers the soul. She is able to infuse scenes of nature and foliage making them come alive like a lyrical poem.
Aranka has participated to a lot of solo and group international exhibitions and has been awarded many times with international prizes. Her masterpieces are displayed in many art magazines and yearbooks.
