Malinda Hermansen

Despite constant connection through technology and community, I believe life is ultimately a solo journey. My work explores the balance between the fragility and resilience of the human psyche—how our emotional histories shape every interaction and layer of our being. I blend human emotion with nature’s canvas, weaving in historical references and reflections on how modern life affects our resonance with the world around us. My images often emerge through meditation and reflection, transforming both fleeting exchanges and buried traumas into visual form. Using acrylic or watercolor, I work each piece until it feels fully expressed. I hope my art invites viewers to pause and recognize the raw, honest echo of what it means to be human.
