| Your Personal Biography |
He started his studies at the Specialty of Ceramics at the Secondary School of Arts and Crafts, Kaposvár between 1991 and 1995. Then he studied at the Department of Design of the Industrial School of Designer and Interior Decorator, Budapest for a year. Between 1996 and 1997 he returned to Kaposvár, where he completed the fifth year at the Specialty of Graphics of the Secondary School of Arts and Crafts. In 1997 he successfully applied for admission to the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, where he graduated as a graphic artist at the Department of Graphics and Visual Education in 2002. His personal masters were: Alajos Eszik and Imre Kocsis. In the last year of his studies he completed two semesters at the University of Design and Art, at the Department of Silicate Design, where his personal masters were: Gabor Gonsales and Zoltan Bohus.
Between 2002 and 2007 he was a qualified teacher at the Mihály Zichy Secondary School of Arts and Crafts, Kaposvár, where he taught multiple graphical techniques, artistic anatomy and history of art. Between 2004 and 2007 he gave lectures of artistic anatomy at the Department of State Design of the Faculty of Art of the University of Kaposvár.
His main interest is glass sculpture which he creates by using a brass wire netting for the base which he continues to mould together with warm glass. The central problem of his works is the combination of the optical effects and graphic qualities. He moved to New Zealand in the end of 2007.
