'Intermission'
- Oil on Canvas - 30" x 24"
Painting is my pleasure; indeed it is my life. I have been a full time professional artist for more than forty five years and I have enjoyed every moment of it.
Recently I was honored to become an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists.
My approach to painting is fairly traditional, but not always purely representational. I often combine very realistic elements
with an abstracted view of reality. While sometimes dramatic, I generally strive for peaceful, calming beauty in my work. My love is creating quiet paintings, compelling subject matter and concise, elegant compositions.
After fifteen years of exhibiting in the United States and in Hungary I am happy to be back in Toronto and show my work again for Canadian art lovers. I was born and educated in Hungary, where I studied art and music. My family and I immigrated to Canada in 1957 after the Hungarian Revolution.
In Canada, after a hard time like that of every new immigrant, I started a career as a professional musician. I played music at night and worked as an artist during the day but after several years fine art over-took music.
During my artistic career I have won numerous prizes for my paintings in Canada and the U.S. At this time of my life I feel confident that I have achieved a good measure of recognition as an artist and hope that people will continue to appreciate my art as much as I enjoy creating it.
