About artist: Edina Halo is a Wicklow-based mixed media artist whose practice centres around the themes of nature, human connection, and the transformative power of nature on the human soul, with a particular focus on mental well-being. Born to German and Hungarian parents, Edina's upbringing in both countries and her subsequent move to Ireland in 2008 have deeply influenced her artistic expression. Edina's diverse portfolio encompasses landscapes, seascapes, and floral art, through which she explores profound subjects such as mental health and stability, the experience of loss, and the quest for personal truth in a rapidly changing and fast-paced world. Her artwork reflects a deep appreciation for Irish nature and its profound impact on her creative process. In her early years in Ireland, Edina's artistic journey was marked by her consistent participation in the annual Hungarian Culture Days in Dublin, where she exhibited her work. In recent years, Edina has cultivated relationships with fellow artists and become an active member of local art groups and collectives, finding immense joy in contributing to and achieving larger projects within her immediate community and environment. She has also dedicated her efforts to showcasing her art in fundraising events, driven by her strong passion for community engagement and making a positive difference. Her background in art, social work, law, and finance has further shaped her commitment to using her artistic contributions to foster positive change. Edina's works have garnered international recognition, finding homes with private collectors in Ireland, Germany, Hungary, the UK, Spain, and the USA. Her art continues to resonate with individuals across borders, inviting viewers to connect with nature's beauty and experience its profound healing effects on the human spirit.
About artwork: The "Lake of Truth" series is a collection of mixed media paintings that delve into the essence of truth and the journey towards embracing one's authentic self. Through the deliberate use of matte satin and high gloss varnish, these abstract landscapes symbolise the inherent contrasts within each of us. This interplay of textures and finishes represents the complexities of our inner worlds, mirroring the struggles we often face in reconciling our true selves with societal expectations. Just as nature encompasses both serene lakes and turbulent waters, so too do our lives comprise moments of clarity and confusion, certainty and doubt. In a world where the pressures of conformity and the fear of judgment can obscure our authentic identities, the "Lake of Truth" series invites viewers to reflect on the profound connection between mental well-being and self-acceptance. By embracing our individuality and acknowledging the contrasts within us, we take a significant step towards a more fulfilled and harmonious life. These artworks serve as a visual reminder that, like the ever-changing surface of a lake, our journey towards self-discovery and acceptance is dynamic and transformative. In exploring these abstract landscapes, we are encouraged to navigate the depths of our own truths, finding solace in the realization that acceptance of our authentic selves is the key to mental well-being and a more meaningful existence.
