In December 2023, it will be 12 years since the installation of my most famous statue - the first life-size statue of Apple founder Steve Jobs in the world. 

We unveiled the statue, almost 2 meters high and weighing 220 kilograms, on December 21, 2011 outside the headquarters of Hungarian software company Graphisoft in Budapest. 

This work has been widely reported by the world's media, including the Daily Mail, the Wall Street Journal and many others. 


I tried to capture him in his typical pose, turtleneck, jeans, sneakers and round glasses. And of course, with an iPhone in hand...I think that considering the short time I had to create the statue (only 2 months since Steve Jobs died in October 2011) my intention was quite successful.

Paintings by Janos Kujbus will be brought to the Moon by NASA

Added Aug 4, 2022

NASA will send scientific instruments to the Moon, over 2022 to 2025. Along with NASA instruments, these missions will carry commercial payloads, including the time capsules that make up The Lunar Codex.

The Codex will be the first significant placement of contemporary arts on the Moon in 50+ years. While focused on visual art, the Lunar Codex also includes a substantial collection of contemporary books, stories, poetry, essays, music, films, and more.

As an arts and culture project, the Lunar Codex has been called the most expansive, international, and diverse collection of contemporary culture launched to the Moon. A documentary being filmed about the Lunar Codex is calling it a time machine from today to the future - and from the future to today.

At its essence, the Lunar Codex is a time capsule, a message-in-a-bottle to future generations.

János Kubus is the first contemporary artist from Hungary whose artworks will be sent to the Moon.

7 meters wide and 1.8 meters high work by Zsolt Malasits

Added Jun 21, 2022

7 meters wide and 1.8 meters high work by Zsolt Malasits, which he painted at the request of the city on the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the royal city of Győr.The highly detailed image shows the six turning points in the life of the city. The journey of time begins in Roman times and commemorates the 750th anniversary, when István V. in 1271 elevated Győr among the royal cities, as well as the legend of Vaskakas and Maria Theresa, who confirmed the rights of our city. There is a significant moment in 1848, when Lajos Kossuth gave an important recruit speech on the terrace of the old town hall. The greatest emphasis was placed on the present and all the beauties and specialties of the present are returning from work. The individual ages are separated by a river painted turquoise, which also takes the eye through the moments of our history.
