"I really like the statue of Little Princess, it was installed in 1989 on the Childen’s Day. The statue was created by László Marton, a sculptor with Award Munkácsy. The Little Princess is sitting on the pedestrian street among the Danube in Budapest. The inspiration was his daughter who played a lot in her princess costume with her father's paper crown on her head.
This sculpture inspired my painting, in which the artist expresses well his daughter's ‘phlegmaticness’ of adolescence.

Dora Stork.
"Dora Stork was selected artist in the London Art Biennale in 2023, an award-winning Hungarian painter whose art has appeared in solo and group exhibitions in the UK, Hungary, and Romania. Her work can also be found in many private collections in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Japan.
Dora describes themselves as abstract realist encaustic painter, meaning they use color in an abstract way, form in a realist way, and imbue their work with symbolic meaning. Her paintings reflect her interest in public life and social and economic processes, presenting her unique perspective on these issues. Dora aims to create dreamlike compositions that prompt the viewer to question their perceptions, with inappropriate details and strange circumstances creating a sense of familiarity.She uses hot wax painting, an ancient technique that provides durability, vividness, and scratch resistance. Dora only uses self-made wax media, without oil or other paints. She applies layers of hot wax paint, controlling the flow and preventing the unwanted mixing of colors.
