Walter Melnikow, Artist

Being “in the moment” reflects the essence of my art. I tend to combine the energy, color, and texture that is moving me in the moment that paint is put to canvas. That is why the look of my art varies so much — some days, very structured and geometric, and other days, textural and organic.

After finishing my business career, I finally have the opportunity to pursue my creative nature and share it with others– and I’ve never been happier. I am the firstborn son of an immigrant family who has been fortunate to have experienced the “American Dream.” I have been exposed to the harsh realities of this country, and view my painting as an opportunity to give back.

I have decided that all of my net proceeds after rent, paint, and canvas will be contributed to charity. While there is universal need, I have chosen charities here in Phoenix AZ and in my hometown of Syracuse NY – Foothills Food Bank, Foodbank of Central New York, and the Zen Center of Syracuse.

I hope you enjoy my art and appreciate my mission of charity.
