Attila Nagy

My name is Attila Nagy. I was born on the 18th of February, 1962 in Szeged, Hungary.
I am from Röszke, which is a village right beside the Serbian border, 14km to the South of Szeged.

I moved to Ireland in 2006 in the hope of a 'better' life. In the following year, my wife and my three children joined me.

Art has been part of my life since my early years.
I always liked drawing, painting, carving, 'sculpting' etc..
Some have said I have talent at these things.
Even though I have been doing physical work for a living all my life, deep down art was always part of my life. As years have past, I have had more and more inspiration until I was fully aware of this 'thing' wanting to 'break out' of me, that I have to 'create'.

I like emotionally linked, creative, 'food for thought' or simply beautiful things.
I spent a lot of time making 'mosaic pictures' using tiles. (I do not feel that this is fully completed yet).

I do not have a certain style since I have no paper nor education of art. Logically, I was self-educated.
First, I have studied art-books and got help from others. They filled me in on their experiences and opinions. Later on, I started using the Internet which kind of solved all my problems study wise...
