WizArts (Melinda Puhó and Attila Borbás)

The founders of WizArts, Melinda Puhó and Attila Borbás, are a European artist couple whose creative journey has taken them to Los Angeles and, most recently, back to Europe, where they are now based in Budapest.

Melinda was born in the ancient land of Transylvania, Romania, in the Carpathian Mountains. From childhood, she felt a deep spiritual connection with the astonishing beauty of the natural world that surrounded her. She started drawing from the moment she held a pencil in her hands and began playing the piano at the age of five. Her longing for artistic expression remained her companion throughout her life.

She is a professionally trained pianist and singer, and music has always been another essential language of her artistic expression. Melinda has performed her music in Europe and the United States, bringing the same cathartic beauty and the mystical dimensions of existence into her musical work.

She has also explored her artistic expression through fine-art modeling and tribal belly dance.

After her parents moved her to Hungary when she was eleven, following the revolution that brought an end to 42 years of communist rule in Romania, the hardships of her early life helped her understand that her life and talents have a purpose. She believes that dreams shape our reality, and that Art can elevate consciousness into new, unknown dimensions. For her, Art is the most personal and intimate form of self-expression, with the power to touch another person's soul in a way that words cannot achieve.

Attila was born in Hungary. His interest in fine art and acting became apparent during childhood through sculpting, wood carving, drawing, reciting, and storytelling competitions. He found three-dimensional forms, geometry, and sculpting particularly intriguing. He has always felt a special connection with nature and has been fascinated by the beauty of its many manifestations, the relationships between living beings, and the harmonious functioning of the universe. To honor the miracle of existence, Attila felt it was his calling to bring his insights and art into the world.

Melinda and Attila met in college and became creative partners, sharing a remarkably similar view of the world and a close artistic mindset. In 2010, they immigrated to the United States to pursue their childhood dreams of sharing their unique creative vision with the world.

After navigating the challenges of their new country, they founded WizArts in Los Angeles in the spring of 2016, beginning their adventure of magick and art.

Since 2017, WizArts has exhibited at various juried fine art shows, festivals and Renaissance Faires throughout California. Over the years, countless people encountered their creations at these events, and their one-of-a-kind artworks found their way into homes and lives across the world.

Melinda and Attila are entirely self-taught, developing their own techniques through years of experimentation, including Melinda's intricate clay appliqué using her handmade glow-in-the-dark polymer clay.

The artist couple is inspired by the enormous and fascinating energy that forms and surrounds all creation. Reflecting the beauty, symbolism, sacred geometry, and vibrations of nature, while manifesting the magick of the infinite realm of fantasy, is at the heart of their work.

A New Chapter

After many years of creating and sharing their art in the United States, WizArts has crossed the ocean once again. Melinda and Attila returned to Europe and are now based in Budapest, Hungary, beginning a new chapter of their creative journey.

While their surroundings have changed, the spirit of WizArts remains the same. They continue to create unique, hand-sculpted, one-of-a-kind artworks inspired by nature, fantasy, symbolism, and the unseen energies that connects us all, while discovering new ways to share their creations with the world.

The journey continues. ✨
