Artist Statement

I am a Hungarian/Canadian Montreal-based emerging artist. I explore themes of nostalgia, memory, belonging, perception, language, and identity. Recently I’ve been focused on my experince as a Hungarian living in Montréal with a focus on language. 

Generally, I work on paper mainly using pencil, oil pastel, pastels, and charcoal.

I’ve completed a Bachelor of Design in Fashion Communication at the Toronto Metropolitan University, followed by a second degree, a Master of Arts from the Royal College of Art in Visual Communication.
