Gyula Karpati (1950) - Naakt voor de ramen, met olielamp

On November 1, 1951 I was born in Buda, the Hungarian capital. My desire to draw was already evident at age 3-4. As a young boy I had the chance to learn the basics of making art from the painter Zilahy. Unfortunately the master died after three years, so I had to train myself at this age. My parents did not think it was a good idea to become an artist. And of course this was the moment when I realized that there is nothing better I want to do than draw and paint. The work of the Dutch Old Masters inspired me to paint in their manner. I have spent my whole life looking and studying. I try to remember and, above all, to understand the details, the correlations and the whole. I seek dynamic perfection. The harmony that is not the same as zero, and infinitely diverse... I want to show people the joy of existence and convey it. I believe that the different manifestations of the visual arts and their various styles do not deny this, but justify each other’s reason for existence. The basic purpose of the images is different, but it is absolutely essential to realize them all so that the artwork is not finished until you have it in mind. I had the chance to do that for the first time during the exhibition at the Pataki Cultural House. Afterwards the HM Cultural Center organized, followed by the BKV Cultural Hall’s Chamber Exhibitions. In 1979 I was approached by the artistic director of the 'Toen Kunstzaal', Mr. Andor Wessely, who helped introduce my work to Western Europe. Exhibitions followed in Frankfurt, Vienna, London, Lille, Amsterdam, USA. My works have reached the most famous galleries and there are also a number of luxury boat trips at sea. My artistic activity takes place along two main lines: both in the form of inner experiences and impressions, with feelings of life and expression, and on the other hand meeting the demands of the client. The basic principle is that 'it’s not about what you paint, but how you do it.' Panel dimensions: 100 x 80 cm Origin: From a collection of the largest private collectors in the Netherlands. The work is now in a cradle frame; normally it could be surrounded by a standard frame, you can now see the edges of the corners, lifting would be a better plan as it is a heavy piece. Shipping is possible, but only without balkijst; when picking up, the frame is simply included.
