1953 -

Biography

(Baja, 6th of May 1953)

He graduated at the Academy of Art in 1980. His professors: László Patay, Tibor Bráda.
He got his first inspirations from his uncles, the painter and sculptor László Kasselik and Iván Hevesy, art historian.

In his works he depicts his family`s art traditions in a surrealistic formulation. On the basis of his musical education he often adapts contemporary music works (esp. Béla Bartók). He often applies green and brown colors, his tone is sometimes grotesque, he is searching for the answer of harmonic and disharmonic questions.
