catalog note

Soft rectangles drift like keepsakes between pages—dust-rose, sun-warmed ochre, meadow sage, and the deep hush of olive. Each hue feels gently flattened by time, as though summer blooms were pressed and left to whisper their stories in pigment. Wisps of graphite loops and quiet swoops trace the air around them, capturing the fleeting path of a petal’s fall, the secret rustle of a turned page.

Light filters through thin veils of white, letting certain colors glow while others fade into memory, inviting you to lean closer and notice the subtle bruises of pink, the tender wash of grey, the unexpected spark of tangerine. Pressed Petals is a pause—an intimate anthology of moments gathered, stilled, and held fast—reminding us that fragility can be curated, and that even the softest remnants can anchor a room in quiet joy.

Melissa Benedek is a contemporary artist born and raised in the vibrant art scene of New York City. Immersed in creativity from an early age, she developed a deep appreciation for the power of visual expression. She went on to earn her BA in Fine Arts, where she honed her skills and cultivated her distinct artistic voice.

Her work is a dynamic interplay of color, movement, and texture, creating pieces that evoke emotion and invite personal interpretation. She believes that art exists in the eye of the beholder, with its meaning shaped by the individual experiences of each viewer. Through her expressive compositions, she seeks to ignite a sense of connection, allowing her audience to find their own stories within her work.

Her pieces have been featured in galleries, exhibitions and publications, reflecting her passion for pushing artistic boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in the raw energy of the city that shaped her.
