Czibiart

I was born in Hungary and I have lived in London since 2010. I came from Budapest to find new impressions and to make contact with artists in London with a view to collaboration and exchange of ideas and to present my works to as wide an audience as possible. I started painting in the early 90s studying and working at the Open Studio Art Foundation of Városliget in Budapest. In 2004 I travelled to Greece for inspiration, working briefly in Athens and Crete before returning to Central Europe for my first solo-exhibition at the Goethe Institute. As a Romani painter I come with a different approach to live, art, and colour. My background to some extent influences my understanding of culture, which, I hope, is reflected in my work. Now I am involved in creating visual appearance of the Park Theatre in London and continue to work with other artist projects.

Shawl of life

When you wear it you display the wealth and prosperity of your heritage and you can feel that you embraced in the arms of God.In the ancient Egypt the god Aten represented by a sun disc depicted with long rays emanating from it. These rays giving energy of the sun,…

In memory of the Roma genocide

Screenshot watercolour crayon on paper 32×42 cm 2024 2nd August Roma Genocide Remembrance Day. In 2024 summer I visited Auschwitz-Birkenau where everything was calm and empty with an enormous pain left behind. In my head I felt dark and blind like covered with pitch.
