I am a fantasist par excellence (to paraphrase Dalí).
Specific data from my life:
I was born in Cluj-Napoca, studied fine arts for eight years and was subsequently active with my traveling theatre Fabularia until 1989, when I had to leave the country with my family because of my political opposition activities.
We settled in Austria, but in the last ten years my wife and I have settled in Hungary.
I continued my theatre work until 2010, with many performances in Austria and Italy. In the meantime, I wrote a lot – diaries, manuscripts, and books.
Since 2010 I have finally been able to dedicate myself to my calling, which I have cultivated since high school: painting.
I have had exhibitions in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Russia – and last year my first solo exhibition in Cluj-Napoca, my hometown, which I left 35 years ago.
