ARTIST STATEMENT

i was born in 1983. currently i live and work in budapest. mostly i make abstract drawings on paper. there are two kind of method i usually work with. first of all there are scribbled, doodle-based drawings, on the other hand there are minimal drawings built up by simple shapes, forms or trace of things. i think about drawing as an autonomic genre. it’s a personal and ingenuous way of expression in which the automatism and concentration, spontaneity and consciousness meet. however it’s a kind of meditation also. formation of my pictures is like stories which unfold during the process of drawing. But the finished drawing always means only itself. they are like faint reminisence of something or unsolvable manuscript.
