Agnes Horvath was born in Budapest, Hungary. She graduated her MA degree from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest. Lives and works in Budapest. Throughout her life, she has always been impressed by how things appear and how a certain appearance involves a certain operation of the thing and vice versa. This interest led her to Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) Budapest. The design-centered education she received there had a profound effect on her creative process, that is, she has a very strong conceptual approach She consider every piece of her work as a unique approach to a certain problem. Because of this viewpoint, in the course of creation, her aim is to let the intellectual concept and the theme of the work determine the materials and the technique it is made with. In 2015 Agnes graduated as a Graphic designer. This education broadened her horizons and led her using different techniques, such as imprints, mostly made with unconventional materilas. In her work she focuses primarily on contradictions or extremes – especially those whose cultural or socio-cultural interpretation (ie. connotation) expressed in the form of an artwork can show strong contrasts in the context of a given concept. Under the everyday influence of the internet and social media, she is mainly interested in the phenomena that showcase the blurred boundaries between publicity and privacy, as the world of banality gains an enormous amount of views. Along this line, she explores through her work the serious and frivolous contrasts, embodied by visual signs, between personal/personality and impersonality, appearances and reality, the instantaneous and the eternal.
