I was born in Kunszentmárton, a small town on the Great Hungarian plain. Today, I divide my time between my hometown and the nearby city of Kecskemét. I graduated from the PGCE teacher training college in Eger and earned my postgraduate degree from the Kossuth Lajos University of Sciences in Debrecen. My professional background is diverse, having worked as a teacher, journalist, and book publisher.
I turned to painting professionally in the early 1990s. For many years, I had the privilege of working alongside the Munkácsy Prize-winning artist János Bozsó, who was both my mentor and friend. My debut exhibition took place in 1997, which was followed by numerous showcases in Kecskemét and later in the capital, Budapest. I have also been an active participant in several artist colonies across Hungary and Slovakia, including Kecel, Tiszakürt, Bugac, Lakitelek, and Český Krumlov.
At the end of the nineties, I returned to my hometown to initiate the establishment of a local artists’ colony. This vision came to life in the summer of 2000 with the formation of the Society of Free Creators (Alkotók Szabad Társasága), where I serve as the Artistic Director.
Beyond my visual art, I have published three books:
Our Secrets (A mi titkaink) (1996) – a collection of short stories
Roamings of a painter (Egy festő barangolásai) (2004) – a volume reflecting on my experiences as an artist
Roses in the Snow (Rózsák a hóban) (2019) – an art album
My work has gained international recognition, with more than fifty of my paintings included in the collection of the London-based Bridgeman Images (formerly Bridgeman Art Library). I am the Fine Arts Editor and a writer for the cultural journal Magyar Múzsa. I exhibit my work on a regular basis in Kunszentmárton, Kecskemét, and Budapest, as well as at various other national art salons and juried exhibitions.
