SOLD Every second or third year the city of Ravenna calls for the sculptors of the world to commemorate their great son’s epic poem the Divine Comedy. Some specific verses of Dante’s work had to be interpreted through sculpture. In 1985 I picked the verse from Inferno X where one of the deads reaches out to Dante asking him what made it possible for him to be able to walk freely among them. This work was awarded a gold medal of the city of Ravenna, one of the fourteen real 18 carat gold medals. There were 400 works from 75 countries presented at that exhibition. I really felt good about getting that recognition.
6” dia. – Bronze -1999 Just a few month before the crumbling of the ‘Iron Curtain’ the head of the two supper powers, USA & USSR, agreed that it would take a few decade to remove ‘The Wall’. But not too many people know that the Iron Curtain was slit open by the Hungarians in September 11, 1989. In a sudden decision the then Hungarian government opened its western border to Austria to the then East-German tourists. There were close to 60,000 of them who did not want to go beck to the East-German communist régime and were ‘camping’ at all over the country just hoping that they can somehow go to West-Germany. After this act the flood of the people going through Hungary to the West was unstoppable. Two months later the Berlin wall was broken down. This medal was exhibited at the XXVII FIDEM – Berlin/Weimar,Germany, exhibition in year 2000.

18″ dia. – hammered copper sheet – 1970/2019
I made that copper bowl when I was still studying engineering at the Technical University of Budapest. I had two sculptor teachers I took classes with. They were Istvan Kakonyi & Gyula Zorley. I learned a lot form then. It was not my official subject but by then I knew that I wanted to be a sculptor. It took 45 years that finally I do what I want. I had retired from engineering some seven years ago. But if you look what I did in the meantime on the art side… then I could say that never stopped since those early days.
9″H x 6″W x 6″D – Bronze – 1978 I wanted to show her desire to change by using a very difficult position of the human body.
(9″H x 9″W x 5″D | Bronze | 1977) My intention was to show the energy as one gets up after a good night’s sleep. I cannot recall when I had that feeling last!
(5″ Diameter | Bronze | 1990)
This medal was made and exhibited at the FIEDE XXII exhibition at Helsinki, Finland. Our careless behavior toward nature starts to back fire. The facts that there are numerous infants born without brains or with miniature heads, that are the result of toxic waste, solvents in the drinking water of those people. Multinational companies relaxed the environment rules and the results are in glass jars for medical students.

(16″H | Bronze | 1975) What have YOU done…
(6” diameter | 1982 | Bronze) The SSC made a competition for their own medal. I just joined the SSC and this was my first work I showed to my colleagues. I was surprised that between the twenty plus submissions my work was selected. This medal was given to many VIPs during the upcoming decades.
12″H x 8″W x 8″L – Bronze – 1976-77 With this sculpture I wanted to show the beauty of the female body in a relaxed pose.
