Akos Artist

With 30+ years of fine art painting experience, 10 years of University study and including more than 10 years of painting fine art into street art murals, Akos has developed a stellar reputation for creating stunning large works. He is originally from Hungary and has been trained in the great traditions of the European masters. Akos received the “Distinguished Talent Visa” from the Australian government as a recognition for his talents and skills that are highly respected, and sought after in Australia. The “Distinguished Talent Visa” is exceptionally rare to earn by a visual artist. Among many other requirements the “Distinguished Talent Visa” requires: outstanding body of work, 20+ years documented experience, documented international reputation, and a nomination of an Australian distinguished artist with international reputation. Akos creates with a purpose to unite people and during his action painting events, he invites children and adults alike to use creative freedom, including painting with their hands and feet, or whatever inspires them, to create the backgrounds of wall murals and canvases. “Letting the kids in particular express themselves through art we are showing among other things that art is for everyone, we are breaking down the walls,” Akos said (Interview Channel 7) “More than just education around the making of art, the exploring of narratives behind works can help to take away the invisible wall that can sometimes exist between artists, galleries, studios and art critics and the broader community. If we can learn to ‘unpack’ art and consider the message behind its creation, by questioning why it was created and what it means rather than just looking at the painting for its perceived beauty, we can deepen our appreciation of its value to our community and make art and galleries more inviting to all.” interview (ABC News) SKILLS Artistic Anatomy, Art History, Classical Painting, Modern Painting, Large Scale Painting, Design Theory, Architectural-Design, Graphic Design, Photography, Book Illustration, Sculpting, Ceramics, Drawing, Video Editing, Lecturing, Tutoring EDUCATION Akos has been educated in the finest traditions of the European masters.
