Artist statement:

One of my main interests is poraiture. In choosing and analyzing my models I focus on the contemporary aspects. I am interested how young people find a way of self-expression in extrem vogues of fashion, how they follow newly invented life-styles. Portraying my models I try to picture a characteristcally contemporary face-expression and attitude.

My still lifes are in a sense also portraits. The compositions are made up from every-day objects that could not have been together if not in our era. They characterize their owner who is a person tipical of our times

Influences:

Father: industrial designer, artist

Gradfather: impressionist painter

inspired by:

the sparkling ideas of Maestro Diabolus

the stupendous visual thinking of Istvan Orosz the extraordinary forceful symbols of Dora Keresztes the melancholic vibration of Odd Nerdrum`s paintings the wild coloure handle of Xenia Hausner the incredible percision of Gottfried Helnwein the surprising speed of Laszlo Feher the delightful sensuality of Juddy Fox the philosophical thoughts of Alfredo Jaar the strong expressive power of Jenny Saville the exciting personality of Louise Burgeois the wide technical knowledge and selfmanagement of Salvador Dali
