Art résumé:

I am an astrophysicist by profession, and an amateur cartoon-, stencil-, and photo artist. I work as an assistant lecturer at Lorand Eotvos University in Budapest, Hungary.

I started to share my art works with the public in 2009, both on the Internet, and in form of stencil graffitis and installations placed in urban territories of the Hungarian capital. I first entered an art work to a competition in 2010, i.e. an artistic photograph to the Hungarian 11th ARC Billboard Competition, where I won the first prize immediately in the category named as "You can also act against poverty!".

Since then, my works of art have been exhibited in Budapest and Szazhalombatta (Hungary); as well as in Skopje (Macedonia) where I was honored to become one of the exhibitors chosen from the international competitors of the 39th Osten Cartoon 2011 competition.

My works often reflect on contemporary issues in Hungarian and global politics, or focus on struggles of the human individual within a globalized and commercialized society.
