ABOUT ME

Born in Hungary, with roots in Poland and a life in Holland, I have been shaped by a diverse blend of cultural influences. This multifaceted background left me feeling disconnected from my Dutch roots, sparking a lifelong search for belonging and identity. This journey has fueled my fascination with other cultures, which continues to inspire my artistic practice.

​

I am particularly drawn to the use of color, symbols, and history—elements that serve as universal yet deeply personal forms of expression. These themes are present throughout my work. In "They Surround Us," I explore vibrant colors and layered symbols intertwined with personal memories, while in "The Colour Of," I delve into the symbolism of black and its cultural associations. These projects are shaped by a combination of intuition, personal experience, and an ongoing dialogue with my surroundings.

​

Every project feels like rediscovering the world. My creative process begins with a broad, open-ended approach, allowing room for exploration. Through research and experimentation, I bring together insights from both my own cultural context and others, gradually refining the subject until it takes its final form. My work is deeply intuitive, often driven by personal experiences and emotions that surface during this journey of discovery.

​

Photography, collages, fabric, and painting are my most natural means of communication. Through these mediums, I aim to create spaces where people feel seen and connected, fostering a sense of belonging regardless of their background. My work invites viewers to look beyond what is visible, engaging with the emotions and stories that emerge. By blending intuition, personal experience, and universal themes, I hope to inspire connections that transcend cultural boundaries and speak to the shared human experience.
