I was born on 10th January, 1956 in Alsónémedi. After graduating from secondary school I became member of an amateur art group (Környezetalakító Munkacsoport ? Environment Forming Working Group), which operated until 1986. During this period we painted colourful and amusing pictures on walls and wallboards of 21 institutions (schools for handicapped children, children's wards in hospitals, waiting rooms for children) according to our own plans. From 1983 I improved my drawing skills at Dési Huba Drawing Group for three years under György Konga?s guidance. In the meanwhile I applied to the University of Applied Arts, and then to the University of Fine Arts, but my applications were rejected. In 1987 I received a certificate in window dressing and decoration. I learnt the techniques of painting with oil in an autodidactic way in 1978, but I created my first significant work only in 1986. Since then I have been painting and participating in exhibitions on a regular basis. During the summer of 1990 I produced several panel paintings for the waiting room of the children's health centre in Békásmegyer. I participated in the National Grotesque and Mail Art exhibitions several times, and in 1992 I won the prize of the Association of Hungarian Fine and Applied Artists. Currently three paintings of mine (The Blind, Little Ship on the Sea of Dreams, The Heart Aches So Much) are on a world tour with a collection of 62 selected works of art in a travelling exhibition organized by the Danish company Lundbeck.
