Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is a series of Melody Hesaraky’s paintings completed during 2020 & 2021 in Brooklyn, New York. Hesaraky’s paintings are deeply intertwined with the rhythm and flow of sound. Music serves as a powerful force, shaping her creative process and sparking the initial inspiration for each piece. She aims to create artwork that transcends the familiar, striving instead for a purity that resonates on a deeper level. In her work, sound functions as an analogy, guiding her expression and influencing the visual language she employs.

Through her paintings, Melody Hesaraky hopes to offer viewers an opportunity to experience a form of dreaming without words—a journey through time and space that encourages introspection and exploration. By letting rhythm lead her artistic expressions, Hesaraky aspires to create a space where the viewer can feel a connection to a different time and space.

“The energy in New York City was surreal and intense. It was in the midst of the pandemic. The human struggle for survival and continuation of existence was very apparent. It somehow felt like I was in a jungle in a beautiful way!”
