These small-sized watercolours are my first impressions of my stay at the National Academy of Arts, Sofia. All of them were made in my studio during my erasmus program, and they picture the atmosphere and life in the atelier. Some of the paintings are more like a mesmeric, fictional image based on the place’s spirit.

One dog - 2014
In this sketchbook I juxtaposed proverbs/idioms about dogs with dog-stickers supplemented with pencil drawings.
Messages - 2014
In this tiny book I wrote sentences taken from different communication channels, such as: chat-, messenger-, and real conversations, e-mails, regular mails and also excerpts from my dream-diary. These messages are on one side of the book, and on the other side there are minimal visual informations regarding to the texts, creating a third, more complex meaning.
Can we understand each other?/Did we touch each other? - 2014
'exercise book for people in love'
Can we understand each other / Did we touch each other (exercise book for people in love)
'I would have given away one hundred gold in coins, so I wouldn't have loved you in advance'
'let's discover your better part - meeting'
'favorable signs - the twinkle of his eyes is like the shine of the stars'
'I can read from his eyes that there is sorrow in his heart - offer a hand'
'missing presence - when i sit down next to him, he catches my hand and baits the love from my heart'
'charm of the moment - filled bottle in his hands, he says thanks for it, his weak arms hug me around'
'I didn't trust a word what he said, what does this person want from me? - i give you a kiss, i let you go'
'broken spaces - it would be a trouble to let you go'
'the one whom my heart in love with, doesn't write me a single letter - challenges before decision'
'the fear is (a) decisive factor - sweeter is the dream in which i can see my dove (lover)'
'I drink every time when it will take a place - uncertain landing, mysterious hide-and-seek'
'still my heart can't find peace - the stolidity'
'it's not like this, as we believed before - and if it hurts, what can you do, it has to be like this at once'
'talk to me baby, the creator bless you - what is the lie good for'
'for whom my heart hurts, doesn't walk in this street - there is no agreement'
'only the sorrow wakes me up - However the misty mornings have a very particular charm, they can develop our orientation ability.'
'I would have wanted to start off, but I couldn't. From the half of my way I must have gone back - about the self-poisoning'
'non-healing wounds - my angel, I carry your picture inside my heart'
Originally this booklet was a school exercise book and was the property of my father. Its title, the two phrases: 'Can we understand each other?' and 'Did we touch each other?' is a word-game. These two different meanings in Hungarian is expressed by the very same sentence. I used cards from the traditional Hungarian playing card deck, different photos from newspapers, a biology book, and texts from. Excerpts chosen from random newspapers, supplemented with Hungarian folk song fragments with the theme of love. Most of the Hungarian folklore poetry is about love and articulate sadness in a very complex way.
