'Pecunia non olet' were the words that Vespasianus, a Roman Emperor said when he was told off for putting tolls on public lavatories.

My cousin from Canada had pushed me towards art in 1994, by encouraging me to try watercolor painting. Following a hiatus in my pursuit of art my wife had subscribed me to an oil painting course led by Gasztonyi Geza in 2020 as a birthday gift. I was sceptical at first but was soon enthralled by the excitment of the creative process on my first paintings. My teacher's skill had impressed me and I felt that I have found my path and sphere in art. Since 2020 I paint constantly and have produced more than a 100 works. Mostly I recreate my old and new life experiences using my own photos but I find myself painting from nature (plein air) more and more. I counsciously try to concentrate on bringing shapes and colors filtered through my own subjective point of view as opposed to photo realism. A part of my paintings is already in the posession of a few Hungarian and German collectors. My paintings regularly feature in gallery exhibitions, Golden Duck Gallery among them, and I have won many competitions. I have found success in online galleries as well such as: "Honourable Mentioned" and "Certificate of Excellence" aknowledgements, as well as the "Gallery Award" of New York People & Paintings gallery and 3 "Talent Awards" in the Los Angeles Terevana gallery.
