Zsofia Otvos Autobiography I am a Hungarian citizen living and working in the United States. I received my art training with an emphasis on figure drawing and sculpting from Rita Kopek’s studio in Hungary. An art-scholarship brought me to North Central College in Naperville, IL in 1994, where I earned my BA degree in art and theater in 1997. During that time, I studied fiber art at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. Since 1997, I have recognized my “mission” as an artist and directed my focus to painting. In my figurative paintings, my focus is on the connection between human experience and expression. My intention is to isolate an instant of conveyance from a multitude of human articulations and preserve it in an idealistic scene. My subject matter, human emotion, originally came from an inner conflict caused by my immigration: a sense of displacement. I often felt as if I was an outside observer of my environment, rather than being part of it. However I no longer feel displaced, I still use the practice of viewing and representing life around me from the periphery. Texture plays a big part in my paintings; it is derived from my tapestry weaving background, which I learned from my mother from an early age. The unique way of mixing colors and the importance of the surface is constantly reappearing in my paintings. My works have been showing in Hungary, France, USA and Italy. |
