About the author:

He was born in 1957 in Kolozsvár (today Cluj-Napoca, Romania). In 1983, he graduated in painting from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts (Magyar Képzőművészeti Főiskola), where he studied under the mentorship of prominent professors Ignác Kókas and Gábor Dienes. From the completion of his studies to the present, his artistic work has been inextricably linked to Budapest, the city where he lives and creates.

He began his solo exhibition career already in 1983 and has since held 29 solo exhibitions. Simultaneously, he has participated in numerous group exhibitions across Hungary and abroad, gaining significant recognition on the international art scene. His works, distinguished by a recognizable personal style, are part of the collections of prestigious museums and galleries as well as private collections, demonstrating the lasting value of his creation. Through four decades of artistic work, he has developed a unique visual expression that combines the tradition of Hungarian modern painting with a distinctive personal approach.
