Biography

 

He was born in Sajóecseg in 1949. After finishing secondary school of fine arts, he worked a few years at the Hungarian State Operahouse as scenic painter. His later attraction to the theatre world, his love of using costumes, and accessories might derivate from this fact. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in 1978. In1980 he mounted his first individual exhibition which was follewed by more than a dozen. His works were shown - apart from Hungary - also in Sweden, Finnland, Austria, and Germany. He made study trips in France, The Netherlands, USA, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria. At various national and international exhibitions he was awarded several prizes, among others the international first prize for painting at the Humor-Satire Art Biennial in Gabrovo (Bulgaria) in1982. 
His works can be found in private collections in the USA, in France, Holland, Japan, Canada, Hungary, Great Britain, Germany, Russia, Italy, Switzerland Sweden and Taiwan. His works to be seen in public collections as well (e.g.: Hungarian State Gallery, Budapest; Mihály Munkácsy Museum, Békéscsaba; János Tornyai Museum Hódmezõvásárhely; Ottó Herman Museum - Miskolc; Janus Pannonius Museum - Pécs; etc.)
