I’m artist, art therapist, community worker and traveller.
I love to give new life to natural ‘waste’ and human ‘waste’ as well. I have an oldfashioned soul like a strange grandma with a little dementia who loves to weave, crochet, embroider and tinker but she’s forgotten to use the correct materials for these activities

It is possible: purple-pink and creative Bachelorette party (in Hungarian)
‘In art everything is possible – I like that!’
… but what is the point in talking about something – even through my art – I have no clue or experience of?
I’m seriously interested in about folk arts, symbols of different nations and the traditional techniques. They are the foundation of my art. I got theme, inspiration from the changing world arround me. I have been living in a new society and new life-situations during my travels. I have been talking a lot about the function and driving forces of the given people. I watch myself, too. I try to understand human nature. I wonder who does what and why is it important? Is it the right way to live?… When I feel I find a question, -truth, -solution, which is affecting many people, I think I have to incorporate it in my art.
I try to create complex, alternative worlds, that the viewer inevitably becomes a part of it, cannot be able to remain an outsider: immerse in them, see them, feel them, discover, create a story around what they see, use their imagination…’
