1.How and when did you get involved with the visual art form that you do?
In 2011, I first saw the "Paint Up!" building projection competition in Heroes' Square, which has remained a memorable event for me ever since.
The one that really caught my attention was an out-of-competition entry , which stood out from the rest with its very serious 3D animations and real-time interaction. It was very abstract and complex. I was very impressed and almost immediately felt that I should do something like this.
2.Where would you classify your works among the various forms of visual art?
Basically, my art world is probably best characterised by abstract minimalism.
A simple formal world developed with meticulous precision.
Different tools and buildings, concerts or music create a varied home for this.
Each of my projects has a life of its own and can be classified in a different category, for example my installation "We Sense" can be classified as light art, but there are also projects that can be classified as film art, such as a video clip or a VR (virtual reality) piece.
You can't really put me in a category because the boundaries between the light arts are very blurred.
3.Do you usually receive orders or do you put your own ideas and desires into practice?
I work partly to commission. I also like the ones that give me the freedom to create, because then the work is created based on my own inner questions and answers.
For my own projects, I look for opportunities to present myself. But it's best when it's a collaborative effort that results in a final product, for example, a light festival is usually like that. In Hungary, the Zsolnay Light Festival in Pécs is the most important such event. I would recommend it to anyone interested in light art and related "street art" and other art forms.

4.Which has been the most important for you in your work so far and why?
The next one will be my most important and most complex work, which is the longest ever, 1 hour 16 minutes long, and the compilation of all my knowledge, ideas and beliefs for a musical artist I have been listening to for 10 years and love very much (Eitan Reiter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eitan_Reiter).
5.How far can the boundaries of visual art be pushed, where does its future lie?
In terms of digital visual art, I think we're slowly getting to the point where we can display incredibly complex 3D animations in real time. I would compare it to painting on paper and having the artwork evolve before your eyes. Currently, the real-time rendering of digital visuals is determined by the computational speed of computers (the precision computation required to fit light artwork onto given shapes). The last 10-15 years in digital visual art have been about the development of computer programs. This development will allow us to create works of art that are truly limited only by our imagination.
6.What are the artistic disciplines that can best "use" your creations?
I feel a strong connection primarily with the musical arts. There are very vivid and interesting worlds between music and image. I feel it is the closest. I work with moving images where there is a very strong sonic connection, what I do would be hard to do without music.
8.Does the Liftoff Coworking office inspire you as a medium to create?
I worked alone at home for a long time. Meeting like-minded people is always very stimulating and inspiring. A coworking office definitely gives you a system for everyday life, which is important for a creative artist and often essential for progress. And last but not least, Liftoff is a pet-friendly place where I'm happy to bring our dog.
