about me
I am a Hungarian painter whose recent exhibitions Nincsen szándékom megérkezni at the Kepes Institute and IdÅ‘tlen kötelékek (Timeless Bonds) at Blitz Gallery in Budapest, have explored memory, tenderness, and the silent dignity of worn objects. In particular, my series of paintings depicting vintage teddy bears has become a central element of my artistic inquiry.
These are not mere toys. They are emotionally charged objects, saturated with history, wear, and quiet presence. Found in flea markets, attics, or inherited from forgotten lives, they stand as silent witnesses to a century of emotional, social, and even political transformations. I see them as emotional fossils, fragile remnants of the past marked by trauma, resilience, and care. In this sense, my work becomes an act of emotional archaeology, resonating with a broader idea of ecology: not only natural systems, but also the ecology of memory, loss, and material presence.
I come from a painterly tradition that places great value on respect for material and surface. The slowness of oil painting, the tactility of layers, and the attention to the physicality of the subject, these are ecological gestures to me. They resist disposability and speed, and insist on attention, intimacy, and care.
