Papp András

The conceptual and phraseological pillars of my painting are made up of the New York abstract expressionism and the lyrical abstract in general. My icons are Simon Hantaï, Reigl Judit, and François Fiedler, and last but not least Seres László Hungarian painter.

I pursue visualizing the layering of the human fate with painting. As newer and newer coats of experiences and feats lay on us as the old layers show through and interact with the them. As the old ones that stuck under but emerge time to time when the coverages of the present loosen or are getting loosened – either gently or aggressively.

​These formed patterns are rather authentic and, let me put it this way, more beautiful than those left by us deliberately. This is where my painting gets linked to the lyrical abstract where the phraseology is highly supported by the unintentional.

I have no official visual art education.
