Snake Painting

I am a Hungarian artist based in Budapest. Paintings and performance based videos and installations are my preferred mediums. My art practice primarily deals with formation of cultural identities through subconscious, personal memories and rituals. As a painter I have tried to explore narratives of subconscious, memories and relationship between human beings and environment. Besides reorganizing these narratives in abstract and surrealistic forms, I also like to explore and understand formal qualities of space and colours in a given context. I often find several Christian metaphors and symbols recurring in my painting. I guess I am trying to interpret these metaphors and shifts in their meaning in dynamic contemporary contexts. I am inspired by recurring and changing narratives in my dreams and memories that pose critical questions about ‘the imagined’ and ‘the real’. I try to reorient given symbols and metaphors to understand contours of phobias, fears, insecurities and taboos as they play out in my social environment. Multilayered meanings in metaphors, religious and social rituals also draw me to other cultures and social conditions.
