Hey there!

Hello, I’m Eszter — a graphic artist of Hungarian origin, based in Paris.

I specialize in creating original paintings, prints, illustrations and books, which I publish on a regular basis. My artistic practice is deeply personal, shaped by a passion for words and textual explorations, storytelling and emotions.

Feel free to explore my work, and don’t hesitate to reach out — I love connecting with fellow creatives, collaborators, and curious minds.

My story

People often ask me about my journey. As an expatriate, my accent sparks curiosity, so as soon as I speak, they want to know my story. I’ve shared it so many times that I thought: why not write it down?

The very beginnings

I was raised in Miskolc, Hungary. My district, a remnant of the communist era, was built to house workers for the local iron factory. It has a bad reputation and particular aesthetics (good old socialist realism). I'm fiercely proud of coming from here and this environment deeply influenced my perspective, made me value beauty and sparked my artistic journey.

First degree in graphic design

I completed my BA degree in Graphic Design at the university of Eger, Hungary, where I became part of a vibrant student-artist community. This experience laid the foundation of my creative journey.

Pursuing my studies

I continued my studies in my country's most renowned design university with an MA in Art and Design Theory. In 2018, I had opportunity to study at one of the best Parisian design schools, ENSAAMA Olivier de Serres through an Erasmus scholarship, broadening my horizons further.

Moving to Paris

In January 2020, I settled down in the French capital and began my career as a graphic and UX/UI designer at a digital services company. Throughout this time, I continued creating art alongside my full-time job.

Present days

These days, I'm focused on learning new skills and working on personal projects. I constantly do my illustrations and screenprints and I work on several book projects in parallel.
