Hun életfa, őrző sárkányokkal

from myself

I have made felt since 26 years, I am teacher of drawing, painting, and arts and crafts technik, I have been wife of an Restorer since 21 years. In my works I look for the collective Memorie. (We cannot only remember the ancient History , though memory is the basis of culture.)I realized that the so called modern arts were completely meaningless for me, as a result of which I drawn to Altai, to world of Myths. I think, if I represent some motifs, we cannot forget them.

As a textile artist who used motifs to build works inspired by emotions, I felt a need to understand motifs. I wanted to understand what I hoped I was using properly instictively. Beeng self-taught I preferred visual evidence to linguistics, folklore, customs and comparative analysis of stories, but history proved impossible to avoid.

I was intrigued to know why turuls, griffons,deer, horses, lions, all of which had always been conspicious and also featured in the Treasure of Nagyszentmiklós, suddenly disappeared only to reamerge in Árpád Age stone carvigs. Furthermore, I asked , why did the sebretache plates themselfes disappear? Where does that so -called Hungarian character come from?
