"Nature of our Earth is fantastic and wonderful, that we have to preserve for ourselves and for the future generations,too. As a Hungarian painter I love to paint interesting people, admire and care of wonderful nature, try to capture the best moments and show them on my artworks."
As a Hungarian journalist (in my earlier capacity as Editor in Chief of the Hungarian Airlines Inflight Magazine, and later as Regional Director of Scandinavia and the Baltic States) I could travel quite extensively, thus managed to visit wonderful places around the world and meet interesting people that inspired me to a great extent. I lived abroad with my family for several years, where I began painting, attended artistic courses in Budapest and Stockholm.
My paintings are in oil on canvas. My artist name is: Mano, as I sign my paintings. I admire, care of the nature, and try to capture its beauty on my canvas. I love to paint the lights dancing on the surface of a lake or sea, the eyes and face of interesting people, special moments of our days or of our old history, and everything that inspires me.
You can find my artworks in a number of international art books, like „International Contemporary Masters XIII.” published in the USA, the bilingual German book, „Excellent Art 2020”, the Spanish art book titled „ModPortrait 2019", the art book published in the US in 2022, "Important World Artists 2022", "Art from Leonardo da Vinci to today"- 2023,, "Contemporary Celebrity Masters"- 2023, "Michelangelo- The Genius of Italy"-2023., just to mention a few.
