As for New York, it is full of galleries; last but not least there is the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art). Also, New York is a utopian city, what inspired my paintings. We went back to America for ten years.

Born in Békéscsaba, a city in SE Hungary, I attended the Slovak High School. There was a painting study circle, but I have been at the circle of amateur radios, where we built transceivers. My Morse signals were received even in Argentina.

I was interesting in the technics, mainly mechanics. Besides being a ham, I had some success in airplane modeling of young. However, my great adventure was the painting.

When admitted to the College of Arts and Crafts, nobody wanted to believe that I had had a pass mark in math, but I had a good drawing in the entering test. For the first two years at the College we drew cubes only. That time there we were trained to the Life, they taught us all of professional and technical things, without constraints of genre.

I am attracted by mechanics even now. The design is in my brain, I calculate everything in my head. Sometimes I challenge myself: I dismantle a machine, then, after months, I try to put together. I am interested what I can make of something.

Long ago we travelled a lot, I move now in a smaller circles. I paint every day, without it I lost a day. My atelier becomes smaller and smaller, I hardly have enough place for my paintings and graphics. My inventory has 5000 objects.
