The Marquis's Portrait
/ A márki portréja
2023
Oil on copper
20 x 30 cm
A fantasy portrait of the Rococo marquis, with a head composed of carnivorous plant- and egg cell-like formations. A marquis who spent most of his life in prison and was known for his overflowing sexual imagination. The one who called his scenes 'figures,' carefully composed them, and brought them to the stage—a marquis whose imaginative power, artistic freedom, and consistency had an overwhelming impact. Eros and death—the two main driving forces—amplified to infinity.
Due to its miniature scale and the need for meticulous detail, I chose a copper plate instead of canvas, as its smooth surface allows for finer precision. I prepared the surface similarly to copper engravings, aiming to create a base where the texture of the etching interacts with the paint.

Self-portrait in T-Rex pose with uniform beauty marks
/ Önarckép T-Rex pózban uniform szépségjegyekkel
2022
Oil on canvas
60 x 80 cm
Inspired by social media posing trends, I wanted to create a contemporary self-portrait where authentic self-representation is replaced by inauthentic self-exposure. Where beauty interventions and posing, familiar even to the youngest age groups, standardize people.
The T-Rex hands pose was introduced by beauty blogger Huda Kattan with the phrase: “Guys you might feel a bit weird at first, but trust me – your selfies will never be the same again once you learn how to embrace T-Rex Hands!”
To emphasize excessive individualization and narcissism as the ultimate goal, the figure illuminates itself. (Its special feature is that the painting is made in the dark and midtone range without highlights.)

UFOs always fall into the cornfield
/ Az ufók mindig a kukoricásba zuhannak
2020
Oil on canvas
70 x 100 cm
Inspired by The Martyrdom of St. Christopher, specifically the detail of A Man Shot Through the Eye With an Arrow from Andrea Mantegna’s fresco in the Ovetari Chapel.
This painting depicts an absurd situation where UFOs, despite their incredibly advanced technology—capable of interstellar travel—somehow always struggle to find a suitable landing spot and inevitably end up in cornfields.
