Curriculum vitae 
He was born in Budapest in 1953. He graduated from the Teacher Training College 
in Eger as a teacher of Biology and drawing in 1978. He studied Biology at 
József Attila University of Arts between 1981 and 1983 in Szeged, then 
philosophy in 1984 in Budapest, film aesthetics in 1987 and between 1991 and 
1993 he studied design at the University of Applied Arts. He studied and worked 
in New York, Heidelberg, Auckland and several other places of the world. Besides 
painting and drawing he has worked with glass as well for 20 years. The artist 
has gone through the phases of making lead-glass and tiffany. Fusing glass is 
the result of a more advanced technology. The process goes like this: the 
elements of glass coloured in the material are faceted with diamond burnishers 
and these pieces are melted together horizontally and vertically like a mosaic. 
The surfaces, panels and pictures reflect the natural forms seen during the 
author's trips through the eyes of a biologist-artist.
