Krisztian Balog

Hungarian artist, who was born is a small Serbian village but moved to Budapest to discover the art world. Like many others, I consider art to be a form of communication. The artist shares their thoughts about the world with the viewer through the artwork. In turn, the viewer can get to know what surrounds them more deeply, from a different perspective, and can sensitize themselves, broaden their knowledge, and refine their mind. Clichés are a part of our lives, most of them are easily understandable proverbs or witticisms that can make even a simple conversation “elevated.” The interpretation and interpretability of artworks is a longstanding issue; art tends to move away from everydayness and turns toward itself. I also create my paintings based on these ideas: everyday, cliché topics interwoven with irony, which I present using visual symbols and signs. The primary purpose of symbols and signs is comprehensibility; something is a symbol because everyone understands it, or everyone should understand it.
