Peter Duhaj

I have been interested in visual arts and music since childhood. Painting in particular has always been a key element of my life. Whenever I could, I painted.

In my youth, however, I didn't think that art could support me, so I graduated from an economics university and then worked in the hotel industry for 10 years in a well-paid management position. However, I felt more and more that I was not following the right path. I needed to express my visual creativity, imagination.

That's why I graduated from an art university and fully returned to my age-old passion - painting. In my work, I tried to paint through the eyes of the masters of academia. The Hungarian masters of the 20th century István Sándorfy, Zsolt Bodoni, László Nyári and Tibor Csernus, had a great influence on me.

Gradually, however, I found my style, my means of expression. Now I know for sure that I am going the right way, my unique way. I can let my wild imagination run free and paint works that are of interest all over the world. Sometimes so much so that I can barely keep up in time. My style is very laborious and demanding, and you can't finish a painting in a few days. But I am happy that I have it and that I can devote myself to it fully.
