Laszlo Pomothy

I was born in 1957 in Levice, Slovakia. I graduated from University of Technology in Budapest. Painting and drawing have always been my life passion, even if I temporarily withdrew from this field. It was my fate to return to my lifelong passion though. I was a teenager when I stopped active creation. At that time I took up painting solely as a leisure activity, nothing more. However, when starting afresh, it meant a lot more than just a hobby to me. During the years preceding my resumption I was gradually coming closer and closer to this path. Having seen their exceptionally good pieces of art, I almost felt jealous of other artists’ success. The overwhelming force of fine arts can provoke feelings and thoughts that would never arise otherwise. I am convinced that I could not live life to the fullest without arts.
