Katalin Papp is an
award - winning artist who
studied art both in the US and
overseas. She received her

assistant professor at SUNY
Farmingdale, also teaches at

Katalin Papp’s
philosophy is that the most
important thing an artist
needs to succeed is to enlarge
the capacity to observe and
translate the world.
Practice in drawing and
painting encourages close
observation, which unites hand
and eye. Her approach relies
on this meditative
relationship which requires
calmness and concentration.
The deliberate patient and
focused emphasis on how mind
and spirit can be developed
through the act of
contemplative looking, and
consequent seeing is the most
flexible aesthetic equipment
an art student and or artist
of any age and level of
achievement can have.

I strated drawing and painting at an early age, both inspired and encouraged by my artist aunt. It started from there. I just like the feeling of creating art work. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Prof. Katalin Papp
is an award winning artist who received her Masters in Fine Arts degree from The School of Visual Arts in New York City. She is presently employed as an assistant professor at SUNY Farmingdale, where she teaches drawing and painting as well as at Queens Community College where she teaches drawing, painting and sculpture.
Her teaching philosophy includes the idea that outside of gaining technical skills, the fundamental thing an artist needs to succeed is to enlarge the capacity to observe and translate the world. It is imperative to find a balance between conceptual and critical thinking and technical and applied proficiency. Professor Papp teaches techniques first by giving demonstrations, and then by one-on-one guidance.
Her new venture the 'Arthollidays' painting and sailing in the Caribbean will start this coming winter. |
