Mille tonnerre Painting

Inspired by forms and colours, dabbled in many forms of expressing art stems from this interest, from cutting mosaics using half precious stones fitted into walls, melting colourful candles into shapes with intricate decoration running through on their sides, painting glassware as well as windows and large walls, I originally started painting images on material such as paper/rice paper/wooden board and usually with acrylic paints, then gradually moved on to working on canvas, like rough linen, and to using oil paints. My technique is based on drawing skill and practice, also inventing and intuition, using brush, as well as knife alone, too. The themes of the images are fictional, sometimes mythological with imaginary creatures moving along the scenery, but many stories root in History, and in the Bible too. Collectors of the works are mainly from Ireland, Hungary, but also from the USA, Greece, Austria, South Africa and China. Now I am living in Dublin/Budapest, while having exhibitions throughout the world since 2002, the latest for the invitation of 798 Art Promotion Centre in Beijing, China.
