I was born in 1940 in a little town called Spisske Podhradie in the eastern part of Czechoslovakia, what now exists as Slovakia. I was eight years old when I began to draw the woods and the amber fields of wheat that surrounded my town. But it was the glorious castle that stood high above my home that captured my fancy as a young boy and led me to draw its majestic lines from every angle and every perspective imaginable. At age fourteen, I won my first art competition being recognized as the best from the region's four hundred entries. No doubt that was my first step toward my goal of becoming a professional painter.

| About the Artist |
In 1969, after a year of extensive traveling, painting, and showing throughout the countries of Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Austria, I decided to look for new opportunities and a new home in the United States. I continued my passion for painting. My wife Yary, five year old son Peter, and myself became permanent residents of this country. All my free hours then were devoted to the painting of the truths I held to be self-evident. It was a struggle and it was hard work, but thinking of it as a price to be paid for getting closer to success made it a little easier. Today, I know that the decision I made thirty years ago was right, and my paintings are a culmination of my learned truths throughout my life. |
