Biography

MA: Hungarian University of Fine Arts
BA: The Faculty of Visual Arts in Pécs
Member of Association of Hungarian Fine Artist since 1995.

I graduated in 1989. During the first years of my career, I worked as a drawing and visual culture teacher. From 1995 onward, I shifted my focus toward applied graphics. My first position was with an American online children’s magazine, followed—after just over two years—by an art director role at a leading Hungarian corporation.

Although these years did not allow for continuous, programmatic artistic practice, the experience I gained in digital drawing and design, as well as adapting to the expectations of a professional business environment, had a profound influence on my approach to fine art. My pedagogical work is similarly shaped by digital technology: alongside classical techniques, I teach digital drawing and painting.

Around 2010, concurrently with my return to teaching, I initiated the painting program that continues to define the direction of my current artistic practice. While figurative representation offers inexhaustible possibilities, changes in my personal life and in broader social and political conditions have led my work increasingly toward abstraction in recent years. In my most recent paintings, I seek to reveal deeper layers: fictive organic formations beneath the surface of the skin, forms extracted from the present moment, emerge across the pictorial plane.
