About the author:
He was born in 1953 in Ada (Vojvodina). He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Novi Sad. He is a member of several art associations: MKISZ, MFT, MAOE, and ULUV. He lives and works in Budapest.
During his artistic career, he has held about thirty solo exhibitions and over a hundred group exhibitions, and has received numerous awards, recognitions, and study scholarships.
In his cycle “Woman with a Dog,” he continuously explores variations of stereotyped forms. By repeating stylized motifs of woman and dog in different compositional units, he creates narrative layers with an ironic nod to mass culture. Indifferent forms dynamically enter and exit the frame, changing their semantic value—from figurative representations to pure visual signs.
