MOTIVATION
’’
’
EGYÉBKÉNT MEGKÉRDEZTÉK, hogy mért írok, de nem
tudtam rá válaszolni, csak kis nyegleségeket.
Azt kellett volna mondanom, hogy egy állandó belső tűz
űz, hogy a kozmosz titkait kifürkésszem, a kíváncsiság és
nagyravágyás emésztő tüze.
Ez igaz is, csak akkor válik hamissá (nevetségessé is, de az
most nem számít), ha kimondom.
(Esterházy Péter)
Why do you want to go there? What do you expect from
it? – These are the most frequent and hardest questions
to answer regarding to the University of Applied Arts in
Wien. Though I’m forty (and it is not usual to study at this
age). Though I’ll get my third degree soon. Though I have
an exiting, variable and free work. Though family and state
existence wait for me at home. Though I paint anyway, no
matter what. Though lots of people love me here.
How could I explain that I need space, fellowship, interest,
similar people, eventful discussions (nincs vessző) and
professional help? That I have plenty of ideas which are no
worthy to show here? That I’m terribly bored of „whatisit”
questions? That I feel separated? That I don’t want to
explain my pictures from the visual basics? That I don’t
want to provoke endless provincial arguments coming
from a performance idea in a provincial context? That
I need permanent creative process, I would like to try
out my new ideas, I’m eager to have open-minded and
affiliated recipients, and I desire innovative and interactive
art experiments? That I don’t want to be another victim of
corrupt contexts and political games? That I feel here the
legal mainstream of art trend false and hopeless?
I need space, community and opportunities to try out
myself. It is not ineffectual for me. This is my real life.

PERIODS
WHAT IT WAS BEFORE:
I have learnt a lot about traditional painting techniques. I
worked first of all on big-sized canvases with acrylic and
oil – but I also liked paper-aquarelle-ink variations. After
a while I was interested in different factures of various
materials, how the paint behaves on them, how much the
canvas can be loaded, and also how different materials
can be mixed. Compositions were always crowded, full of
vortexes, swirls and forms emerged from a sort of abysm,
ever lack of figurality.
WHAT IT IS NOW:
I have consciously reduced exhibitions and presentations
since 2008, for more reasons. On one hand, I began to
interest in other types of visuality, and I needed more time
to try out and mature them. I have tasted figurality. I feel
the relation and combination of abstract-nonfigurative
and figurative-real forms very exciting. After a while I
started to be interested in pause, visibility-transparency,
loaded space and nothing as a contrast on a picture.
I have tried new techniques as montage, collage and
PERIODS
prints. The pictures are usually smaller than before; I often
use sequence, rhythm and recurrence as visual means
of expression. Recently I often work on plexi, mixing it
with canvas and serigraph. I’m curious about performing
flat pictures in an enterieur, disengaging them from
two-dimensional plane, offering them as organic parts
of the space. On the other hand, the reason to reduce
the number of exhibitions was to build up that wide
international art-related relationship I can use for further
art activities.
WHAT IT WILL BE:
Learning a lot from my art studies and art project
management experiences, I have turned my interest
also to interactive genres such as theatre and its visual
projections, mostly to performance, visual (light) effects
on screen creating special context and transforming
emotions to the rehearsal in order to involve them into a
common game. Taking this direction, I could effectively
use our existing cultural association with its international
relationships and art project possibilities.
