From Above Painting

I am a painter, a freelance artist, living in a small village, Lokut (Hungary) and a middle-size town Subotica (Serbia) too - as I have double-citizenship. As an introduction let me paste a few words here from an opening speech of my exhibition: “Szajko’s artworks are characterized by a special duality: he is able to create the finest transition of the shades on the paper applying soft velvet touch of his pastel sticks and then de rubbing the colorful pigments delicately. We feel peace and tranquility watching his landscapes and still life paintings. On the other hand Szajko has sometimes enormous energy and applies wild, gigantic gestures on his oil paintings taking advantages of the hardness, density, strength and plasticity of oil paint.”
