Artist Statement:
I was born 15 November 1970,
in Győr, Hungary. Since
childhood, I have always loved
art. I have respected
originality and so I call my
own artwork szükrealism after
my surname.
When I was still young, Lajos
Várady was my teacher. He
taught me about techniques,
styles and artistic trends. My
idol is Salvador Dalí. His
ideas and creativity fascinate
me. I also greatly admire the
colours and shapes in the work
of Andy Warhol. Goyas and
Velázquezs artistic genius and
sensitivity overwhelm me. That
is why ideas, impressions and
emotions have equal value in
my work. It is also greatly
influenced by the affection of
my loved ones, as well as the
inspiration of the beautiful
landscapes of Bali, where I am
living at the moment. Numerous
other artistic influences may
also be seen in my work, from
action-painting, through
decorative-design elements and
art nouveau to hyperrealism.
My art, apart from American
pop-art, is primarily
influenced by Japanese
pop-art, anime and manga
pictures, plus the magical
forms and figures of the Far
East, such as the Indonesian
wayang figures.
My artwork can be divided into
periods by idea, emotion and
impression. ...
