Exhibition of Gyorgyi Pinter at Direct Art Action UK
Gyorgyi Pinter
In childhood everything gets decided, the greatest dreams born too, but then in
adulthood time washes them away, they fade.
However, destiny gave a brush in my hands in 2000. I grabbed it, and I couldn't,
didn't even want to put it down. It greatly changed my life and my relation to the
world.
In 1985 after I finished my A levels I worked as a shop window arranger. I got to
know painting here. I started going down on that path, I wanted to paint.
My art teachers from Békéscsaba have made a huge impact on me:
Attila Novák visual professor
Gábor Megyeri-Horváth artist and art teacher.
I started studying art at the Hungarian Institute for Culture and Art in Budapest. My
teachers were:
Huba Bálványos graphic artist
Gábor Atlasz artist
I create a lot, but it never feels I need to stop... I always look forward to taking the
brush in my hands and sitting in front of the canvas.
I like still-life painting, telling stories by the objects I chose. I love unique angles and
warm colours.
