"Being both a formally and a self
educated artist, I have always been interested in social/political
issues as the major forces that shape our life, and their effect
on the average person's struggle to survive and rise.
I had my first solo exhibition at the age of 13.
Inspired by Salvador Dali and the surrealist movement,
my artistic style of expression is surrealism
and symbolism. I am continuously experimenting with different
mediums but my favourite remains oil on canvas.
As an artist, I feel that it is my duty to reveal
the contrast between the harmonious relationship of the individual
with nature, as opposed to the man-made, often artificial connections
developed in the modern society.
While my artworks speak for themselves, I want to present these
issues from a different, unique angle hoping to stop viewers and
encourage them to think."
Alex Jobbagy has been awarded
the prestigious Pro Cultura Hungarica Memorial Award
by the Hungarian Minister of Cultural Heritage for his artistic
work.
This award is given to non-Hungarian citizens in recognition
of their “outstanding merits in promoting and popularizing
the values of the Hungarian culture abroad, and enriching the
cultural relations between Hungary and other nations.”
