“ I try to paint as colorful as I am and express my feeling of love to people, teaching them how beautiful life can be”.

            I paint my fruits and vegetable large, to slow the viewer down, and to show the beauty of the everyday world. With my large colorful pieces I rediscover my childhood, in which my family and I planted seeds in the garden of rich Hungarian soil. I was fascinated by nature, to see the seeds to grow to maturity, and witness the step by step process. First to see the blossom, followed by a little bud that became our fruit or vegetable.

As I work on these paintings, rich memories come floating into my heart and flow into the paintings. I share through the eyes of my childhood the vibrant color that have become the passion my adulthood.

While painting fruits and vegetables I found similarities in their shape with the form of human bodies, and this has inspire me to start painting human figures. With my appreciation of nature I am showing the beauty of the human figure. My newest interest is flowers, the shape; the movement of the flowers what is interest me.

I am also painting big decorative ceramic plates and large roosters.”
