I am working as a painter since 1996. I was always looking up at my masters, how they were making their wonderful paintings. For their suggestions I applied as restorer student at the Hungarian Fine Arts’ University in 1998, because their opinion is – you can really learn the old techniques and materials from the old time. I had finished my studying in 2007 as painter-restorer. During the time I was trying to creat my own style. Next to copying I was making portrait, landscape, still life, nonfigurative,  constructive, colour-field etc paintings, I was also making collage, assamlage, statues and statuettes. I was trying new techniques also.  For me the linen, wooden panel, paper, sheet metal is the same, just have to find the suitable tools, equipments.Usually I make small sized artworks, because it is easier to handle. I am changing my themes all the time, it depends of my mood and what kind of effects I get from the environment. I am making paintings with mixed techniques, and using material such as plaster, send, gauze patch, coffee-grounds, melon’s pits, etc. which  imitate the random shape of nature. My new artworks’ themes are city, different builings, but sometimes I make paintings definite themes of apllications.
