CURRICULUM VITAE

I WAS BORN IN SALGÓTARJÁN, HUNGARY IN 1956.

I ATTENDED SCHOOL IN BUDAPEST.

I LEARNED SCULPTURAL ARTS THROUGH PRIVATE CHANNELS, PARTLY IN HUNGARY UNDER THE DIRECTIONS AND WITH THE HELP OF ATTILA BOBÁLY AND JÓZSEF SOMOGYI, AND PARTLY IN MENTON, FRANCE.
IN 1996 I ATTENDED THE SUMMER ART ACADEMY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED ARTS IN BUDAPEST.

I HAD INDIVIDUAL EXHIBITIONS IN THE MADÁCH GALLERY OF SALGÓTARJÁN IN 1993, IN THE SERBIAN CHURCH OF BALASSAGYARMAT IN 1997, AND IN THE ÚJPEST GALLERY IN 2004.

INITIALLY I WORKED EXCLUSIVELY WITH WOOD. NOW THE MATERIAL OF MY SCULPTURES IS MAINLY WAX AND BRONZE CAST AFTER A WAX MOULD.

MY THOUGHTS, FEELINGS AND THE PLASTIC FORMS GUIDED BY THE FORMER ARE FOCUSED ON TWO MAIN CONCEPTS:

“NATURALNESS AND SIMPLICITY”
