ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In my portraits, I combine photorealistic drawing in charcoal with more abstract painting in acrylics and acrylic inks. "Wild thoughts" is one of the works from my recent project "Mzansi", which was exhibited in Austria. "Mzansi" is an informal name for South Africa in Xhosa language as the project is devoted to South African women of Xhosa and Zulu descent. The project started spontaneously after my Xhosa friend asked me to draw her. I draw women simply because I love women but the task of depicting African women is particularly challenging and satisfying at the same time. Since then I have been depicting her, her female friends and relatives. "Mzansi" is a tribute to the beauty of Xhosa and Zulu women. Yet it also attempts to create a narrative in every portrait as each of these young women carries her own story of overcoming family expectations and socio-cultural constraints on her way to self-sufficiency and independence. The model depicted in this work is an energetic and vibrant young woman. She thus reminded me of impalas, which I used to create the patterns.

I am an artist, designer, and ex-philosopher. My art follows two strands: traditional visual art and new media art that engages with analytic philosophy or complements scientific research. My visual artwork focuses predominantly on the articulation of female desire within the traditional genre of portraiture, as well as on a cognitive appropriation of the city and the expression of political, cultural and personal narratives in the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century residential architecture in Austria and Hungary. I also do landscape painting. Currently, I work and live between Budapest and Krems, Austria.
