Creating has always been part of my life ever since early childhood and this way - at the age of 16 - led me directly to the Secondary School of Fine and Applied Arts in Budapest, where I had been studying drawing and sculpturing for five years. Later on I graduated in Design and Art Management at the Metropolitan University in Budapest.
I got acquainted with watercolor technique six years ago and fell in love with it immediately. Since then slowly it became part of my everyday life; in the watercolor medium, I have found my way of artistic expression. That I started to learn watercolor in a self-taught way, some world famous watercolorists played a major role, for example Joseph Zbukvic, David Taylor, Ross Paterson and Chien Chung Wei, - I consider them my biggest idols in painting. My style is constantly evolving, but strives to give back mostly the character and atmosphere, using fewer details.
I'm fortunate enough to travel often and all I see and had seen are influencing me; built environment just as cities with its architecture, unspoiled nature, landscapes, seas and waters. I often paint sketches on sites to get familiar with the atmosphere, and with every completed (or even spoiled) painting I learn something more.
I believe this learning process for an artist will never, and should never stop.
My paintings can be found in private collections in several states of the USA, in Canada, Slovakia, Switzerland, Greece and Hungary.
