About
I am a hungarian artist currently active in Stockholm, Sweden. I got my Masters from Konstfack in 2023. Before, I studied at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME), and have been on international exhanges and courses around the world (Jerusalem, Israel; Prague, Czech Republic; Corning, New York) to deepen my knowledge in the craft of glassmaking.My main field is glass, but I use metal and/or ceramics in my works as well. The technique I'm using is called flameworking/lampworking - it is a precise, yet playful dance with the fire.
The general purpose of the project is to argue that aesthetic experience is intertwined with various emotional stages. I attempt to decipher the meaning of an imagined or recreated nature - landscape and creatures - and use the flow process and unconscious tactile experience of these images to translate my visions and emotional states in glass. This is made possible by the technique of flameworking/lampworking which is a uniquely expressive, precise technique that gives immediate feedback to every action from the otherwise distant glass material. To undertake this challenge, I aspire to understand the unconscious emotional connections of nature to humans, as well as the related notions of the uncanny and the corporeal. The environments and creatures I've made are imprints of the uncanny and sublime experience of glass, using the intangible wholeness of nature and human - expressed in material.
