BIO
Hungarian visual artist from Brasov, Transylvania (Romania), working mainly in the fields of photography and videography for 10 years. She studied at the University of Art and Design, Cluj-Napoca - obtaining her master's degree in photography. She attended a scholarship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan (Poland), at the multimedia department.
She is an active member of the local cultural scene, supporting the cutting-edge initiatives arising on the artistic horizon of Brasov. She is the founder of Bohemian Cultural Association – it’s greatest achievement being the organization of the Urban Culture Festival „Bohemian Square” in Brasov, between 2013-2015. She advocated several educational and charitable events and was invited as jury member in a couple of photography competitions.
Her activities carried out over the last years are characterized by a progressive perception regarding life and art. Themes that she researches are the subjective realities and the notions of time, motion and the human body – which provides her a vast ground for making inquiries and searching of possible answers. She also aims at interdisciplinary works by collaborating with artists from other medias, such as choreographers, actors and musicians.
ARTISTIC APPROACH
As our Universe expands, everything is in constant motion and metamorphosis from order to disorder and people change as well within their microcosm, due to unforeseen life events or conscious choices.
The particular manners of my upbringing and the raw effects of the external world bare the results of an aesthetic melting-pot that defines the way I see life and mirrors in my visual utterance. Becoming a better version of myself is the drive that guides both my personal and professional life at the present.
Photography was always my aid of self enunciation and I try to make my voice heard through my work, my imagery being my figurative language. Observation is both a method and a goal in my work in order to refine my understanding of the world and the capacity to reflect it. I consider art a means of (re)creating personal realities, thus offering endless possibilities.
