​​
‘To be an artist is to believe in life.’
​
Creativity takes courage.
I am from Hungary. I studied at the university International Relations to work in the Parliament for 6 years and when I finished, I gave up everything and came to America. I came with no support, alone. I came to try and open possibilities for myself for a new life I was not able to enjoy back home.
After 6 years of being here people ask why do I make art.
My answer is I make art because I enjoy it, and I can put all my experiences in it.
I am a working artist in abstract art but also started to work with digital art.
I am also on my 6th year of working with domestic abuse victims and I got a Presidential Award from the White House in 2020 for my volunteer service work.
I put my experiences and positive messages about how to overcome trauma in my art and channel human experiences into a worthy cause, into leading some kind of movement. I am interested in abstract physical art but also in crypto, NFTs and human development.
We lost touch and we stopped using our hands. I did photography for years as my hobby and PAINTING for me is a little different. A part of it is the constant moving of my fingers. I feel like they are almost always doing something. Tapping on the table, peeling off some paint, ripping off a plastic package, touching the canvas. When there's a brush between my fingers, these movements turn into the desire to move it.
Art is like an invisible language between people. It makes me happy and makes me unstoppable. I feel like I can explain myself through my paintings. It makes me want to challenge myself and widen my horizons. Sometimes it makes me want to defy gravity. It completes me and I won’t shut that noise within, I learn it’s language and give it a voice.
Doing art is a manifestation of an energy dwelling within each and every one of us. There is so much I can’t put in words, and I can express in my art.
You can either direct it or let it out raw without many restrictions pour that energy out on a canvas, wall or in music.
ART is challenging and absorbing, and the moments of creation can be breathtaking. Like trapping lightning in a bottle for a moment and then letting it go.
Art is life and strength.
Getting away of something what drives inside you.
It is true happiness and satisfaction, a real picture of humanity to life.
