I have worked with the magic of words and sentences for many decades – I translated foreign language films and books into my mother language, Hungarian. 4-5 years ago I unexpectedly started drawing again, then painting, then in live and online courses I tried to regain the knowledge of the basics I had acquired in the art faculty of high school some really long time ago. I have been painting continuously for the last three years, trying myself in new and newer mediums and techniques. I started with acrylics, I also tried oil painting, but I have been anchored to wax for a while now. After a series of cold wax and oil paintings of mainly water themes, I fell in love with encaustic during a workshop in Ireland last Autumn. Since then I have been experimenting portraiture in encaustic. Creating is a great joy for me, I can’t even imagine my days without it.
