László Budai

Born in 1965 in Hódmezővásárhely. He studied composition at the Szeged Conservatory. He started to paint under the influence of the painters of the lowlands.
Lately he has been mainly painting portraits. In his portraits he mostly depicts sensual, pure beauty. This beauty, through enchanting colours and decorated with the motif of a leaf, gives an impression of the macro and micro world. The girls and female figures that emerge from the almost abstract background make his works plastic, almost three-dimensional, their delicate sensuality and emotionality reminiscent of an ashen fruit, the fleeting wonder of youth.
His figures, the intimacy of the relationships depicted, their often idyllic nature, captivate our eyes, the subtle painterly technique enhances the effect of the magic.
His work is characterised by serene landscapes, pastel colours and an often optimistic mood.
His watercolour-like clarity draws its atmosphere from the lowland landscape, while his Mediterranean alleys radiate the sentimentality and musicality of the southern peoples.
His creative vein for the atmosphere is expressed in the harmonious unity of the natural and human environment in his paintings. In the light, playful splashes of light that filter through the foliage and onto the walls of the small house, we sense his joy as a painter.
His painting is difficult to classify as contemporary. His paintings cannot be clearly described as realistic, but rather represent a distinctly individual world, drawing on all styles from impressionism to abstraction, using what is close to the artist.
He has been on study trips to Germany, Italy and Austria.
He regularly participates in art camps and artist workshops (e.g. Mártély).
