"Genesis - Inside Music - The Dance of Sparkle and Material" Painting

My name is Zsuzsa Sztruhár and I am a hungarian fine artist and composer. I originally took a degree as a painter at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts (Budapest), in 2011. Since then I have been creating audiovisual installations, kinetic music sculptures and interactive sound instruments which I call ‘Music (or Melody) machines’. In 2014 I became admitted to the doctorate course of the University of Fine Arts, where my research field and subject became these music machines and instruments and the connection, transition and translation possibilities and interfaces of music and fine arts. In 2020 I completed my dissertation and graduation with summa cum laude. In 2016 I gained Erasmus scolarship which I spent in Venice, Italy, where I lived from 2017 to 2019. During this time I was engaged in composing music, and I wrote a 250 pages partiture with more than 60 pieces for piano. In Venice I sometimes used to play parts of this music on pianos at public places. The 3-volume music piece is a collection of etudes and valses, which all together form a spiritual composition which relates the calvary of the soul accross a spiritual journey of life, much like the Tarot describes the way of the soul. When I am invited to play or give a concert, I play parts of this composition.
