Résumé Biographic

Born in 1988 in Hungary, I passed my GCE in the Zoltán Kodály Primary and Secondary School in Budapest in 2007. The same year I was admitted to the Sculpture Studies of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts (HUFA). Here I did my studies under the guidance of Professor Zoltán Karmó. Several of my works were selected for collective exhibitions in my student years. Since 2008 I have had works regularly exhibited at the Particum Fine Arts Biannual of Szolnok and in 2012 I was elected as member of the Szolnok Fine Arts Association. Between 2008 and 2014 I regularly attended the Nagyatád Wooden Sculpture Art Colony. In 2011 I was invited to the 8th Steel Sculpture Symposium in Kecskemét. Since 2014 I have been a founding member of the Szolnok Bronze Casting Symposium. In 2013 I was granted MA degree in sculpture and was awarded the Tamás Vigh Prize “for the best HUFA sculpture graduate of the year”. In the same year I was accepted as member to the Hungarian Sculpture Association. From 2014 I did my postgraduate DLA studies in sculpture at the University of Pécs, Hungary, where I attained the absolutory in 2017. My thesis work on the East-West divide of intercultural space and the unity of sculpture art was defended summa cum laude in 2021. In 2021 I was granted the Gyula Derkovits Fine Art Scholarship and the award of the Association of Hungarian Sculptors at the 5th Sculpture Art Biennale. In 2022 I received the scholarship of the Hungarian Academy of Arts, and the “Searching for T-Art” award from the T-Art Foundation.

In my sculpture work in general and in my doctoral research in particular, I have been exploring synthetic approaches to Western and Eastern art traditions. While such explorations have been motivated by my personal experience in European and Japanese cultures, it has also been inspired by broader inter-civilizational encounters. My primary focus has been on new interferences in Western and Eastern aesthetic perspectives. In my view a sculpture work inevitably implies an existential interpretation orienting the self-awareness of its observer on the contemporary horizon of cultural diversity.
