Zsombor Barakonyi - Stories from the streets (walking around Budapest)
I was born in Budapest, the capital and largest city of Hungary, and I still live here today. I probably wouldn't be able to live anywhere else. Every day I walk the streets of this big city, soak up its atmosphere and look for and find many motifs for my work. Although sometimes the busy and hectic atmosphere on the streets seems exhausting, I usually come home from them full of energy and ideas. In the silence and warmth of my home, I then interpret the mosaics of experiences from the street1
I was born in Budapest, the capital and largest city of Hungary, and I still live here today. I probably wouldn't be able to live anywhere else.
Every day I walk the streets of this big city, soak up its atmosphere and look for and find many motifs for my work.
Although sometimes the busy and hectic atmosphere on the streets seems exhausting, I usually come home from them full of energy and ideas.
In the silence and warmth of my home, I then interpret the mosaics of experiences from the street into the motifs and compositions of my paintings.
These works of mine may be sympathetic and close not only to those who like Budapest, but also to those who like the atmosphere of cities and maybe even a little nostalgia that can be felt from some paintings...
All paintings are on a 3.5 cm thick poplar wood panel.
