Encouragement

Ildiko Mecseri, Hungary

I was born in 1971 in Győr (Hungary). I graduated as a cultural manager, and then as an economist. I received an MBA degree after graduating from the University of Lincoln. After that, my job and life were connected with e-commerce, where I was a sales and quality assurance manager for many years. I have travelled a lot, and photography has become one of my favorite hobbies. Later, I started to paint with oil, and making art became my primary profession. I like making the intangible tangible through my paintings. I would like to send positive messages through my paintings and use my travel experiences among different cultures to show the complexity of life. Besides these, I choose my painting topics from history, faith, and science themes. My painting style is metaphorical realism, and I work with oil paints. My applied techniques are varied: alla prima, flemish etc. I constantly research and develop new painting tecqhniques to find the best fit to my artworks. I hope I can give you some positive moments by my paintings. I have been exhibiting in Hungary and internationally (e.g. Paris: Carrousel du Louvre, Brussels: Warsaw, Naples etc.).
