BIOGRAPHY

Uzony (b. 1963) grew up in Debrecen, Hungary, where he continues to live and work. He graduated from the University of Debrecen, specializing in the history of art, having studied under the renowned artist Árpád Bényi. He received his degree in 1988. He studied painting technique with the French artist Gilbert Lupfer. He won First Prize at the inter-university painting contest of 1988. Soon he held his own exhibitions in Hamburg, Karlsruhe, and Langenbach. He took part in study trips to Paris, Milan, and Prague, as a result of which the works of impressionist painters became a major influence on his paintings. He has held more than 30 of his own exhibitions in the past two decades, and his paintings have been bought by several collectors from Japan to the USA. In 2013, Uzony won the gold medal in the West East Gallery (Canada). In recent years, he discovered the teachings of Eckhart Tolle. He studied the natural forms of the world of fractals, which inspired the birth of his abstract paintings. In the last 10 years, he has gradually turned to abstract thinking, especially the abstract representation of nature. With his abstract paintings, Uzony has achieved great success at the exhibitions of the Paris Salon three times, winning the special prize of the jury in 2017, and exhibiting again in 2018 and 2022.
