Eszter Bognár is an artist currently living and working in Budapest, Hungary. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Painter – Visual Representation Artist from Eötvös Loránd University in 2017. Through painting, her practice seeks to explore the different elements of the natural world from abstractions and patterns found in nature. She creates textures and layers while discovering relationships between the colors and the unexpected structures.
“What does art mean to me? I think art is a creative force for culture with its mythical form and symbolic language. In my paintings the nature is only symbolically identical with itself – a symbol of freedom, happiness, pain, emptiness hence emotions, where the landscape symbolizes human emotions. In my paintings I explore these feelings, where the landscape grows into a transcendent director, that is the image of our inner world/human soul. Imagination shapes the invisibleand the intangible.”
