The Garden of Rebirth exists as it always has — It emerges when beautiful energies met at harmonious, endless fields.

Summer, Beautiful people, inspiration, first drafts, blue sky, Balaton and a reed fence. The vision of Reed as Canvas material – this is how this started.
And the notion, that Artist go “crazy” so you don’t have to. So my non crazy part suggest, read what you see with your soul not with your eyes.
Q: Are there any symbolic elements or hidden meanings that you incorporated into the artwork?
A: Well… If there would be, would I write about it openly since its “hiden” for a reason? Just keep it so: it depends. 🙂
Q: Can you walk me through the creative process from concept to completion?
A: Weeks were spent among the wonderful friends who lived there. I had the chance to understand a bit of their inner cosmos, their way of exchanging ideas, and the subjects they are interested in. The hosts, their friends, and I built this fence together by our own hands. We went to buy the materials, and then, under the full sunshine of summer, the group—guys and girls alike—knotted the reed so it could be fixed to an existing metal fence and befcome the canvas I thought it to be.
I started the video recording so that no one noticed it.., It way raini, windy, lighnking strike ot once outside of the garden.
A fine voice from the background without any notice just started to see what I did not even saw before… That is what you hear by this recording.
Q: Who or what influences your style the most in this piece, and why did you choose to express it in this particular way?
A: Calligraphy (书法, shūfǎ) was originally a method to describe things in writing, simply put, “the way to write” or “the art of writing.” It dates back to around 3000 BC in China. The word “calligraphy” first appeared in Greek texts, around 500 BC. It came from the word “kallos” (beauty) and “γράψιμο” (to write), meaning “to write beautifully.”
I started to learn European calligraphy at age 14, so the “origins” were the shapes of the typeface Goth Quadrata from XII century. Later designed own typefaces as well. Eventually, I began breaking the letters apart, creating a whole new symbol set inspired by the beauty of calligraphy, and something beyond.
I chose this method because I see these symbols running across large surfaces wherever I look, creating shapes and forms, but more importantly, they radiate a unique, rare atmosphere.
Q: What message or experience do you hope to leave with those who engage with your piece?
A: Maybe as it shows above… Just… Embrace the Rebirth of the endless You. simply put: The Garden of Rebirth has infinite futures in the now.
I hope the viewer can experience when the spiritual, mental, and physical aspects are fully seen as divine in their full radiance.
