ISTVAN

Born on 1956 in Hungary, separated from his mother at the age of eight. He had a sad and difficult childhood, which served to fire his artistic imagination. He studied at Pec's. Ground Technical College and joined A.K.T. Member of European Artists.

In 1993, he won first prize at the International European Art Competition. In 1979, he had a solo exhibition in Budapest at the Young Cultural Center/Hungarian Artist Club. He also participated in the Electrical Art Show at the Hungarian National Gallery. In 1988, he moved to Germany where he had solo shows at the Newberg Art Galleria and Newberg City Hall.

In 1990, he had solo art exhibits at the Toronto, Canada Harbour Front Gallery; St. Elizabeth Church of Hungary in Toronto, Canada displays one of his original religious Masterpieces. In his paintings he created a symphony of colors and textures through the use of mainly the primary colors of red, blue, and yellow. Symphonies of color appear to float in a metamorphic dance and ultimately to collage into a harmonic whole. Artist as traditional as Leonardo Da Vinci and as contemporary as Jackson Pollock, Miro, Kandinsky and Mark Chagal has influenced him. Istvan seeks to define truth and beauty according to his color codes. In his quest to capture the fundamental meaning of life, he is one of his Century’s Great Masters of Modern Art.

Hungarian National Gallery Museum of Modern Art in Budapest is showing his two original works of art and David Leonard Fine Art represent Istvan original art works exclusively.
