Helka Ivanyi
"I like expressing my opinion in the language of visuality, 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 earthly inhabitant, have to react in my own language.
It feels very liberating to export intense emotions to my canvases. I would compare it to a big sigh that one holds back for a long time. In this case, a big, colorful, surrealistic sigh. This is why I see my paintings as visual diaries."
