About The Artwork

This painting is dear to my heart. This painting was the first of mine, which reached realistic look, after years and years of working on it, because my goal was that "I wanted to paint realistic portraits". And finally its happened. Lets be honest, I still dont know how, and why, but after this painting I had all the confidence I ever needed. Not too much of course, because if you paint a portrait, there is always something you just dont understand on the canvas. I wanted to feel, what this child feels. He is hopeless, broken, but pure, and innocent and he knows something what we dont. And that "we dont" part was what I wanted to grab and show to the viewer. When I had my first exhibition at a hungarian house of culture, this painting was the first in a row. And I remember that one day I just walked in the gallery room of this house, and I saw a bunch of little kids staring at this painting. I think they understood.

I was born in Budapest in 1982. From my early age I was visiting painting exhibitions with my parents, where as they told I was excited about the most colorful paintings. As a child and a teenager I drew all the time, mainly portraits, and always enjoyed to dive into books about painting. I started to paint with oil when I was 23, learnt in a self-taught way. ​ I got my first acknowledgement at the age of 10, when I won a prize on an international art competition in New Delhi, India. I had my own exhibitions in Budapest, also took part in a travelling exhibition in The Netherlands. My paintings can be found in German, English, Dutch and Hungarian collections. ​ ​ I believe my paintings find their owner by fate, on a certain purpose. I put more contrast, brighter colors into my paintings than reality. My interest is to draw people's attention this way towards that kind of hidden truth what should not be ignored. ​ My portraits aim to show pure feelings without unnecessary frippery. To tell about human behaviour, reality in all details. As you look into their eyes they create connection with all senses, show feelings what we try to hide in our overwhelmed, everday life.
