Pál Gellérfi

I am a realist drawing artist, fine art and art theory writer.

I was born in Budapest in 1985, and completed my studies at the Radnóti Miklós High School in Dunakeszi, and in 2004 I was admitted to the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, Graphic Arts.

Nowadays I am working as a freelance visual artist, primarily producing high quality drawings for foreign sales since 2022. In addition I am researching the connections between cultural development and environmental stress.

Between 2022 and 2016, I gave numerous lectures on art history, cultural history, and drawing art topics. My first two books were published as partial summaries of these topics in Hungarian.

In 2012 I co-founded the TypoTrafik letterpress printing workshop.

About my art manner:
Due to the realistic art style, the scale and ratio of my drawings are 1:1. This means that everything can be seen in the drawings in the same size as we would view the depicted things from a comfortable distance in real life. There is no magnification applied to the images - as is typical for example in naturalistic art.
