I am a Transylvanian ceramic artist and designer, raised in Budapest and currently based in Bromölla, Sweden. I am a member of the Ifö Center Artist Collective and have established my new studio in the former factory building, where I collaborate with the art center on sustainability projects focused on repurposing remnants of the old Ifö Isolators factory.

I often took part in design processes in close collaboration with architects, urban planners, landscape architects, and structural engineers, resulting in a diverse portfolio of both indoor and outdoor projects.

My works in architectural ceramics and conceptual art/design projects are characterized by my commitment to continuous research and experimentation. I have had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed institutions such as the Fraunhofer Institute (FP7 EU project about inventing sustainable inorganic acoustic sound barriers made of structured expanded perlite - 2009) and the University of Liverpool (Illuminating through ceramics - designing translucent silicate materials for architectural surfaces - 2017-2019), where I have contributed to pioneering sustainable materials and technical solutions in rehabilitation art and design projects. I am dedicated to advancing innovation by synthesizing traditional and contemporary production methodologies, with the overarching goal of preserving and promoting local heritage while cultivating social sustainability.

My primary focus revolves around sustainability, particularly through the innovative repurposing of old silicate waste materials. I am deeply passionate about blurring the lines between art and product, crafting experimental pieces that generate further thought and exploration in this field. 

I have undertaken the transformation and repurposing of iron-mining byproducts and reclaimed building materials, infusing them with novel properties and functions. Throughout this process, these materials undergo a metamorphosis, acquiring a stabilized texture and prolonged durability, all while retaining their inherent aesthetic appeal.

My exploration has revealed that the juxtaposition of silicate wastes with spatial elements and natural illumination yields distinctive atmospheres, offering fresh perspectives and considerable potential for sustainable applications.

Teaching, lecturing experience

2025 - : Paper porcelain workshops for adults about sustainable art/design practices using silicate remains and waste from the legacy of Iföverken in collaboration with Ifö Center and Sylvamo papermill. Held at my studio at Ifö Center, Sweden.

2017- 2023: Regular porcelain designing courses / tableware and sculptural design workshops, held at my studio in Budapest, Hungary.

2014 and 2016: spring semester design course - paraphrasing design methods at the Faculty of Design, Shanghai Art and Design Academy in Shanghai, China.

2012: Architectural ceramic design courses at the Faculty of Ceramic design, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME), Budapest, Hungary. 

2011: Form studies courses at the Faculty of Ceramics, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME), Budapest, Hungary.

2009-2011: Form studies in the architectural design program at the Faculty of Architecture, MOME, Budapest, Hungary.

2005-2007: Teacher of Faculty of Ceramic design, Secondary School of Visual Arts, Békéscsaba, Hungary. 

COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS

2024–2025 Developed sustainable artistic solutions and community-focused activities to inspire citizens to reduce energy consumption, in collaboration with Ifö Center and the CCI4Change project.

2017–2019 Conducted workshops for students on innovative ceramic applications within sustainable architectural contexts, in collaboration with the University of Liverpool School of Architecture and EcaLAB.

2013 Led a community educational project designing artistic traffic signs with children—creating literal “zebra” statues—to help reduce traffic accidents. The project was realized in collaboration with Budapest’s XII District Municipality and local elementary schools.

2010s Collaborated for several years with the State Institute for the Blind in Budapest. Developed a new design method for blind children: a “visual” tactile language to strengthen inner visual imagination. Through workshops, we also created an urban park design for Budapest and organized several exhibitions.
