“…As if to suggest to his viewer, with the words of Illyés, “harmony, order, reality, or the world will perish.” He also suggests this with his subdued, nuanced, warm pastel colors – but without shouting. Because the balanced editing with its silence and puritanism is most sharply opposed to today’s chaos, obscurity, and side-talk. And the fact that his creative discipline avoids all pictorial chitchat, his intellect, which puts the world on a pharmacy scale, focuses only on what is considered important – his paintings therefore work “with the simplicity of folk songs.”
He leaves out all unnecessary items. Thus, he can abstract more liberally, he has a greater creative space to think on a large scale, to create vaulted, large-arched compositions, and at the same time to live with the finest shades of color, form and content.
His paintings, drawings and engravings are clear, clear, precise and in their layering “understandable” pictorial language…”
