Helka Ivanyi

‘I keep myself awake at night with various artistic activities – painting, textile art and photography. These are the three main, categorisable groups. ’

“I like expressing my opinion through the language of visual art, or telling my stories, complaining, rejoicing. To give a face, a form, a gesture to my personal negative or even positive experiences, or to a larger-scale event in the world, to which I, as an inhabitant of this earth, have to react in my own language.

It feels very liberating to channel intense emotions onto my canvases. I would compare it to a deep sigh that one has been holding back for a long time. In this case, a big, colourful, surrealistic sigh. This is why I see my paintings as visual diaries.”
