Less is More
I focus on the essence of a visual experience, using abstraction and minimalism. Often I eliminate unnecessary details, capturing only the significant aspects and spirit of land, sea or environment.

Beyond Realism
Technical perfection in recreating reality isn’t my goal. As an artist, I’m interested in expressing my feelings about places and experiences, capturing the essence of “being there.”

Embrace the Unknown
Many artists stick to a comfortable and sellable style. I prefer variety and the thrill of discovery. I experiment with new approaches and embrace unexpected results.

The Power of Abstraction
Like composers, good abstract artists use principles like balance, harmony, and colour to evoke emotions. My goal is to create moods and stir feelings in the viewer.

Celebrating Life with Colour
I love using bright, “Aussie” colours to express the joy of life. My art aims to be happy, optimistic and uplifting, leaving viewers with a positive feeling.

Art for the Soul
My goal is to create art that celebrates nature, uplifts the human spirit, and brings joy. We need more than just the basic necessities like food and shelter. Art should satisfy our curiosity, aspirations, and emotional well-being. Art helps us rise above the ordinary and find relief in the beauty and enjoyment it offers.

Hailing from Budapest, and working as a Chartered Architect, I commenced my artistic journey in 1970 gradually transitioning to a full-time visual artist with a unique self-taught style.

Art has been my lifelong passion, and when I paint I draw inspiration from Australia’s diverse landscapes and unique nature to create captivating works of art.

Over the years, I have served countless clients ranging from art lovers to collectors, each appreciating the distinctive blend of colour, emotion, and inventiveness in my creations.

Guiding beliefs that shape my artistic journey

Creativity ~ I embrace innovation and originality, pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms to create captivating and unique artworks.

Inspiration ~ Nature is my main muse, particularly the diverse landscapes of Australia. I also admire the works of Van Gogh, Klee, Kandinsky, Picasso, Richter, Olsen, Nolan, and several other prominent Australian artists. Drawing from the beauty of nature and the works of iconic artists, I seek inspiration that fuels my artistic expression and creativity.

Quality ~ Dedicated to delivering excellence, I uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship and artistic integrity in every artwork I create. Unlike some artists, I only use artist-quality colourfast acrylic paints and protect my paintings with varnish.
