SALE: Il Girasole Print

I haven’t always been an artist. I studied Agricultural Engineering and Phytosanitary in University of Corvinus in Budapest and pursued a successful career as a plant buyer for nearly 10 years. Then, the opportunity to make a lifestyle change found me. Although I had always dreamed of becoming a painter, I never had the courage to give up a successful and lucrative career. When I met my husband and moved to Italy, I was trying to find a job in my field, but after meeting my husband’s sister, who was already an accomplished artist, I began to paint in her studio. To cover my expenses I sold small cityscape collage paintings for local tourists. It was a good practice, but I was also aware that to become a trained artist, I needed to learn a lot more. After about 2 years I finally decided to commit to becoming a full-time artist. I learned and practiced tirelessly, and began to sculpt my career as an artist. I attended several courses to learn painting techniques, acquire skills, and refine a unique personal style. I am fascinated by surrealism and pop art. I also find semi-abstract paintings inspiring. And, lately, I became very interested in retroperspective art. I build on these genres and influences within my own practice to create an original and innovative style. My paintings focus on contemporary topics investigating both positive and negative aspects of our times. Despite having debuted recently, I have been invited to participate in prominent art events in Italy and abroad that include contemporary art fares in Genova, Milano, Florence, Bologna, Torino, and Sardinia (Italy), group exhibits in Hereford (United Kingdom), Houston and Washington DC (United States). I sell my paintings online and I am humbled by the enthusiasm and interest in my work from art collectors worldwide. My paintings are part of public collections at the Royal Office Romana and the Museo Casteldoria, Castelsardo, Italy.
