From Our Members to Our Members Viktoria Melnykova
Viktoriya is a great lover of Rana Begum's work and will be happy to talk to us about one of her sculptures in her collection as well as guide us through other pieces in her home.
Originally from Ukraine, she was naturalised in France where she had her first encounter with art. Initially interested in psychology, she found a link to her interest in artistic expression during her first visit to the Centre Georges Pompidou. Today, Viktoriya is interested in a humanistic approach and develops different projects such as therapeutic art, educational interventions in schools and projects with artists.

Letter from our member Roos Dhunjibhoy Meyers
Born and raised in Belgium, I was of course exposed to the grand masters of the Flanders. Art was always present in my life, and museum visits were often on our travel itinerary. My very own first art purchase, however, was in Mumbai, India, where I had settled with my husband and daughter.
