Career: Between 1974 and 1979, he was a student at the Secondary School of Applied Arts. In 1980, as an art student, he won his first award, the Domanovszky Prize, for a self-portrait. He graduated from the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in 1985. Between 1985 and 1988, he continued his studies at the Academy of Art Education, where his mentors were Kálmán Csohány and Pál Gerzson. In 1988, he was awarded a world scholarship in the United States. By this time, he had already held numerous solo exhibitions in Hungary, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and the United States. In 2000, he received the Salus Prize for his work Realized Dream in a competition celebrating the 10th anniversary of German reunification. In the early 2000s, he had permanent exhibitions at the ARTEL gallery in Pannónia Street and the ARTEN gallery in Váci Street, Budapest. He passed away suddenly on the night of June 8-9. On July 6, 2006, he was laid to rest at the Church of St. Anne in Szervita Square.
His Art: In the beginning, the influence of his mentors was strongly felt in his works, with a focus on working the color surfaces, contouring the edges of the color fields in a rainbow-like iridescence, and using bright, vivid, and pure colors. This influence continued to appear in his later works. In the mid-1980s, his compositions became increasingly constructive and abstract. However, in the 1990s, figuration became more prominent in his paintings. Occasionally, he returned to abstract compositions, sometimes reaching formal solutions influenced by abstract expressionism or color field painting. He also created figurative etchings in copper.
