The paintings titled “Big Odalisque” essentially belong to my “Torso” series, as the composition is cropped in a way that the entire body is not visible. Within the composition, the woman is not ill at ease; however, the viewer is placed in the role of a voyeur. This visually manifests a sense of vulnerability and helplessness before the gaze—a concept I interpret both psychologically and compositionally.

The inspiration for the Torso II series is the painting titled “Show-Hide (Torso II/1)”, in which one half depicts a curtain and the other a female upper body. This duality of revelation and concealment (showing and hiding) runs throughout the painting. (I painted this piece during/immediately after the series titled “View”, which features views from windows—or more accurately, the “lack of views,” as they are obscured by curtains.) The torso-like cropping refers to the objectification of the female body and its vulnerability. Additionally, some paintings in the series feature a frame-like crop, through which I reference both physical and psychological boundaries.

In this series of paintings, naked female torsos appear in the same compositional framing: from the neck down to the mons pubis, with bare breasts, cropped at the arms. Technically, the first piece of the series, Torso I/1, is still realistic, while the subsequent paintings are much rawer, more instinctive, and more expressive. This duality can be seen as the manifestation of the inner self and the psyche through matter; they are memento-like articulations of vulnerability, victimhood, objectification, or abuse—reflecting the psychological breaking of a woman.

The series, consisting of twelve relatively small-scale paintings, is composed of loosely interpreted, subjective circular associations.
The drain, the basin, the egg, the skull, the lampshade, the toilet bowl, and the ring—all embody circularity. The circle can be a sign of totality and infinite freedom, or a never-ending trap and perpetual repetition.

In the short art animation titled “Concreting“, a figure is seen mixing concrete. Sand, cement, water, and physical labor are the elements used to create the material. As the events unfold, it soon becomes clear that the work is being performed by an almost entirely naked female figure. By concreting herself—as if constructing a pedestal for a statue—she is working on her own encasement in concrete. The “statue” thus serves as a monument to eternity.

In the painting, one of Budapest’s red-light districts (tolerance zones) serves as the background, while the subjects of the work are figures of the Venus de Milo, multiplied and depicted in foreshortening. In the Greek era, with few exceptions, women possessed no real rights; nevertheless, statues of Venus have come to symbolize idealized femininity. These statues standing by the roadside refer to what is often called “the world’s oldest profession”—prostitution. Waiting by the side of the road, these Venus torsos are foreshortened to the point of infinity.

From time to time, a specific object gains prominence in my work—typically items drawn from my personal environment. At the same time, an intuitive creative process remains essential to me. In these three works, the “basin” emerges as a recurring motif.

Narcissus is a frequent theme in art; in the well-known mythological story, Narcissus falls in love with his own reflection. However, the painting does not only react to this myth but also to narcissistic personality disorder, a term so prevalent today that it has become a common, often arbitrary self-diagnosis in everyday language.

The theme of concealment and hiding appears in various ways across several of my works. Often, a figure’s face is obscured, or—as in the case of the painting titled “Walled-up Window”—the inhabitant of the house has excluded themselves, hiding behind the bricks. In the work titled “View”, the viewer is placed in the role of a voyeur, yet this is the moment just before looking out. It captures the uncertainty of whether or not to pull back the curtain and face what lies beyond. Visually, there is a contradiction between the title and the subject matter: through the drawn curtain, only a blurred image emerges—metaphorically representing hopelessness, and the tension between hope and despair.
The work titled “View” has evolved into a smaller series.

In the painting, the Walled-up window painting is ominous in itself. The wildly sprawling vegetation and the water-damaged, damp plaster indicate that the house is abandoned.
