I graduated from the College of Nyíregyháza as an Art and Visual Communication major in January 2007. During my college years I was a member of a cultural association, in which I helped organise several programmes, events and concerts. For a short period I also participated in editing the programmes of a community radio station. While in college I tried several materials and techniques from photocopying to copper engraving. At the moment I am experimenting with mixed technique paintings, in which I mix the techniques of collage and decollage with acrylic painting. I wrote my thesis about the works of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, in which I attempted to clear the difference between graffiti and graffiti art, show the circumstances of the reasons for the birth of graffiti art, as well as present the characteristics and style of this artistic form. To this day I am preoccupied with modern and contemporary arts, more specifically with the various counter cultures and anti-arts. My subjects of interest are dadaism, neo-dada, pop-art as well as graffiti art, street art and punk culture. Furthermore, I am also interested in pop culture, its history, and the possibilties of connecting pop and art. After graduating I and two other people were asked to completely decorate a music club. Following that I also worked in a graphic studio that was connected to pharmaceutical companies. My main tasks were publication editing and logo designing. In this year I was requested by the band Gonzo to design the cover of their first album "lost and found". From August 2007 I taught the subject of Art and Visual Culture in an elementary school in Debrecen, and I also had three student groups in the art school of the institution. This August I worked in Sziget Festival as a programme assistant for MODEM, the Centre for Modern and Contemporary Arts in Debrecen.As a young artist it is my mission to create my own visual language that is critical, funny and above all, clear. A language that does not only address a closed, snobby community but also an everyday person. In my opinion the person of the artist is insignificant. The artist, as a modern shaman is a door of transcendentalism to the world. One who does not give real answers but shows the way, whose personality creates an attitude, and thus a filter for this power that is superior to the senses. A power that, although it discovers human feelings and shows the way to their attraction, aims to tear us out of the state in which we exist.
