ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The painting was inspired by true events in my life which made me realize again what beasts we human beings really are. This is the latest addition to my social commentary series which reflects on human conditions and human behaviour. Here's one short publicly palatable story which served as inspiration for me. It goes like this... And there was a woman, mother of three in her 40's, a husband, respectable member of society, successful career, financial stability and owner of two cats. She had a life that most people would only dream of. And there came her younger and weaker cat meowing desperately, crying painfully from starvation, purring, rubbing against our legs asking for food which was on the top of the counter in a large bag. Then I asked the woman, why is this poor creature so hungry when there's food on the counter? Well, the other cat ate all the food that was out for them earlier, said the woman. So, why not give her some more – I asked rather stunned? That's life - she said raising her voice - and left to work in a hurry.

For me, creating art is a way of existence, a way of looking at things and decoding, processing information. I was born in Hungary into a musical family, but by the age of fifteen I found visual communication to be the way to express my observations, deepest thoughts and emotions. By the time I completed BA studies in 2009 I was already slightly disillusioned by the “art world” in general, and realised that I better beat my own path. Being attracted to the vibrant life of London and the beauty of the coastline in the South East of England, I decided to move there to find a word of wisdom, challenge my paradigm and gain worldly experiences of a lifetime. I have spent the next few years finding my own voice as a painter, traveling, researching and compiling a vast amount of literature in all sorts of alternative subjects so I can confidently stand behind what I express in art without sounding like a baby crying in a crib. I developed great respect for stoicism and self studied theories of human psychology whilst continuously experimented with oil painting techniques and also completed commissions to keep in practice. Today, I primarily paint with oil, themes that reflect my views of society and questions about human existence in general. I find oil paint to be the most suitable medium - kindly forgiving, yet to be a powerhouse of expressive voice. I appreciate the balance between slightly rough surface created by thick coat of paint, and the highly detailed fine edges, playful thin coats of paint colouring the surface underneath. Through my paintings I aim to tell stories inspired by both current social and personal life events, my years long research into the occult (hidden) world, history, symbolism and my observations of how the human psyche can be and actually is affected by various traumatic events in a lifetime. The viewer should expect serious topics explored with a hint of dark humour injected at times. Instead of arriving at convictions, I ask questions regarding the original, uncorrupted purpose of life on this plane of existence, leaving behind religious traditions and conventional ideas; and thous attempting to find the “way out of here”.
