Júlia Szilágyi
Fine Artist
In my artistic practice, I focus on the study of human beings and nature. The themes that arise within this are not based on a uniformly structured stylistic system, but I am free to change it as the subject requires. A general characteristic of my work is that, within figurative painting, I use both abstract and realistic representations, which I prefer to spice up with colour and sometimes irony. In my art I often refer to art historical antecedents and work with traditional techniques. I paint in a deliberately beautiful way, with the aim of setting a trap for the viewer. And my aim is, to quote Lawrence Durrell: „About Art I always tell myself: while they are watching the firework display, yclept Beauty, you must smuggle the truth into their veins like filter-passing virus!”
