Introduction

I have always been interested in observing my environment, analysing different patterns of behaviour. I connect my observations with a mind-game that probably starts in many of us in the same way in suitable situations: I start to connect analogies and similarities to the forms and behavioural moments I saw. I had already used this approach when I studied at the University of Pécs. I used to travel a lot by train and I liked to draw and paint in that space using my suitcase as a table. I was looking for shapes that I could use later, like gestures caught inside the shaking train, or details while spacing out of the environment outside. I later incorporated these sketches into other works and added fresher elements to the motifs, giving the image a new interpretation in both detail and completeness. I think I make the painting more exciting visually and experientially by giving it the opportunity to unravel the details. This way anyone can develop their own unique story or find their own personal connection to the vision.
