Most of my family members are doctors. Medical things have always been present in my life, so for me this environment comes as a natural theme. But this was not my primary reason for choosing this theme. I’m avoiding nostalgia; these memories are the source of my interest and inspiration only.

Anatomy was one of my favourite courses at university. I dealt with it a lot: I visited autopsies at the Hungarian university of medicine (SOTE), also I applied for a taxidermist job at the Hungarian Museum of Natural Science.

This project started with an experiment: I staged operating room procedures without the use of actual blood or flesh. I used different materials and everyday household items in order to show a genuine visual approximation of a medical procedure. I did not make accurate replicas of the organs; the viewer cannot estimate the real size or orientation of these fake organs inside the body.

The sight of the sterile operating table and the metallic medical tools are in contrast with the strong colors of the internal organs. I carried on this duality in my paintings.

After this project, I began focusing on the inside of the human body instead of painting nudes and portraits.

I did not attempt to make anatomically correct representations of the human inside in my own pictures. I rather assembled compositions from my visual impressions, resulting in abstract pictures.
