Bors Györgyi's "Universal Self-Reflection"
Born in Tapolca, near Lake Balaton, in 1977, Bors Györgyi and her sister were placed in state care at the age of 8. It was then that she began to turn towards art.
The artist’s experience of loss and rootlessness, combined with the healing and transformative power of the creative process, led her to develop the emotionally charged "Universal Self-Reflection" creative program.
In Bors's works, a system of complex spatial forms and planes floats before a color scale derived from a specific hue. This levitation is a legacy of constructivist and suprematist art, which gave spatial illusion to their geometric works on flat surfaces while also supporting the universality ideals promoted by these movements. The environment created by Bors Györgyi serves the same purpose—namely, the central motif or series of motifs is intended to elevate the message to a universal level through the timeless spatial illusion, expressed with soft lyricism.
The composition in each case is based on precisely formulated spatial geometric shapes and seemingly extensionless planes, with certain series softened by lyrically crafted informal surfaces or motifs that temper the sharp edges and coolness of the precise geometry. The "sharpness" of this spatial geometry in Bors's work also alludes to the dangers of life and the feeling of threat. However, the meaning does not stop there, as the order and system created by the geometry on the canvas radiates a belief and hope in orderliness. The frequent use of the sphere goes beyond this; the surface of the sphere can be perceived as the full spectrum of human existence, and when viewed as a body, it also serves as a symbol of perfection, which in many cases is framed by Bors as the starting or ending point of the message.
