About

I am an art quilter from Hungarian and Russian origin, living in France. I discovered art quilts when arriving in France in the nineties. While I was still struggling to learn the language, I started to create personal, figurative scenes, it was my way to communicate with others.

More than having a personal style, I especially love to tell stories with my creations. When I have an idea, I completely immerse myself in it. When younger, I worked in a theater as a playwright, and kept a liking for staging. My quilts are time suspended, an instant when everything stops, but you can always imagine what was happening before, and what will come after. There's an intensity to that precise moment, a delicate one, and sometimes dramatic. Visually, my artworks are also intense, a baroque luxury of details, an abundance of colors and emotions.

I still work full time and I also became a Chi Kung and Meditation teacher. Through time, my quilts became more spiritual, I started to work on my “internal landscapes”, at the border of the real and the unreal.

I am present on social networks (mainly Facebook) in several groups, and I like to participate in collective works (Temperature Quilt 2020 project, curator of the Orient Express project for SAQA Europe/Middle East region).

FEMINA I - French Cancan
My idea was to present different women's destinies in parallel.   I drew inspiration from French culture and history. On one side, there is the Moulin Rouge, representing luxury and voluptuousness. On the other side, Marie-Antoinette, thrown onto the cobblestones and quickly forgotten. The show must go on! I'm talking about the human stories, the setting is completely unreal. The Moulin Rouge, large and imposing, as well as the Arc de Triomphe are made of organza, floating in the air, and the...

Conversing with the Earth III
Crossed Civilizations III - The Vikings In this third volume of Crossed Civilizations, I've imagined Vikings arriving in ancient Japan after a long journey. Let's face it, it's a clash of cultures! Japan, with its sophisticated civilization, receives the onslaught of barbarians! But the Japanese lady looks on the Vikings' arrival with curiosity, and the two cultures mingle with mutual enrichment. The Vikings would go on to found the first samurai schools... To create this mixed universe, I...
