Szilárd Szilágyi (Silaro), Hungary

My name is Szilágyi Szilárd. I am a self-made artist. Since my name was misprinted on a poster in Germany I have used Silaro as an artist-name. I was born in Siklós on June 13, 1959. My parents are both teachers. My mother later trained to be a psychologist. I attended schools in Pécs, Hungary where I also spent my university years. I was awarded a degree in law in 1983. It was during my university years that I began to take a serious interest in art. My first attempt were supported by Ferenc Lantos and Tihamér Gyarmathy. In my earlier period I produced works that was thematic in character. Later my works are the images of the inner memory. They create themselves through me. I had several exhibitions in Pécs, and Budapest, Hungary. I also had the chance to show my paintings in McCann - Ericson Gallery and in Gallery Arietta, Frankfurt-am Main, Germany, in Ader Tajan Auction House, Paris, France and in Malmö, Sweeden
