About this artwork
This image arose from philosophical thoughts—thoughts that, given the critical development of humanity in our highly industrialized and digitalized age, sometimes take on an increasingly darker hue. I was able to visualize this meditation with the banks of a river. And as someone who is irretrievably culturally damaged, I can introduce a quote from Angelus Silesius:
Two people are in me, one wants what God wants.
The other, what the world, the… devil and death.
However, we hope on the pink shore, where flowers grow, bring seeds and everything grows organically

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.
