I’m a Hungarian visual artist from Subotica Serbia, currently based in Purmerend, the Netherlands. My practice is composed of pencil drawings  through the method of surrealist-self portraiture. I use myself as a model to evoke emotions, seeking to highlight different characters by applying my own body as a vehicle of expression.

My love for drawing developed at a very young age. I’ve chosen pencil as my method because of accessibility and over time it became a staple medium.
I love how observing a realistic pencil drawing can feel more real than reality and that evokes a surrealistic feeling. Seeing something executed perfectly and the amount of time that has gone into the work which couldn’t exist without that dedication and time.
