Black Horses Painting

Born in Pecs, Hungary in May 1979
------------------------------
My name is Peter Sukosd, I am a Hungarian painter who already had several exhibitions, mainly abroad, in Copenhagen, Prague and Florence for example.
Some of my paintings were used as book illustrations and the reproductions of my painting the "Grove of Petrin in Prague" are now in the rooms of Hilton Prague.

I realized that visual art, and painting can only shelter me from the, sometimes painful, happenings of the outside world, since I could only create my ideal and perfect world only through my paintings.

I would say that I am an experimenting painter, who is trying to be independent from all prevailing art trends and relying only onto his inside world.

I really love the surrealistic and somehow abstract themes. As for the so-called circus series I tried to find a subject that is in a way dreamlandlike, meanwhile people can also explore it in their everyday life For me it is like an isolated and vivid island in the grey sea of the everyday and monotonous happenings.
In a way painting means the same for me: the mixture of the touchable, natural world and the indefinable inside world. Both of them reflect to the other.

As for the circus itself, it means an inner, unapproachable mystical world to me that somehow symbolizes my personality and the meaning of painting. To me painting means an ivory tower which always offers a shelter from all the rising tides of the outside world. I balance myself on the top of this ivory tower like the ropedancer on my painting, who is trying to keep her on the rope against all the shadows trying to drag her down.
