I am a Hungarian artiste, designer, illustrator and researcher living in France. Having worked on Medieval Arab book paintings in my PhD, my visual unisvers is highly influenced by medieval and Islamic art. I have published several articles namely about Arabic Calligraphie and Arabic miniature paintings. |

The interdisciplinary method I employed in my thesis also influenced my way of creating. In my paintings, comics and animations, I often deal with question I've encountered during my anthropological researches. For instance, in a series of “graphic short stories” I published in Qantara, the journal of the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, I create narrative images and I explore the different way how images can be related to texts.

The objects and the jewelry I create are also inspired my experiences as art historian. I integrate details of famous artists’ paintings and patterns from different cultures into my works. I recontextualise these details by decomposing original works and recomposing them into new forms having new roles and functions.
For my jewelry, I use quality materials made in France such as silver, brass, resin and wood. My pieces have light movements and interesting proportions. They are extremely light and resistant to humidity, heat or shocks.

This method of recontextualisation, I also employ in my paintings : integrate figures, forms, ornaments and compositional features of different artistic traditions into my own works and give them new meanings which react to current social or ethical issues.

This method is also widely used by medieval Arab artists, in order to create humorist interpretations and satires on their own society. Discovering or even inventing different means of visual humor is one my main concerns in my comics and my animations as well. |
|
I also work as illustrator. Namely I published cover and book illustrations in Poland, a series of calligraphies in Arabic depicting the famous Syrian poet's works : Adonis.
