About Silvia Habán

In my childhood I loved drawing and painting, but fate brought me other interests and sports to my life and I returned to fine arts after twenty-five years. I have been studying oilpainting technic for a 4 years and still keep on the studying under the guidance of an experienced hungarian artist István Cene gál. I consider yourself to be simply a painter whose work continues to evolve. I could describe my artistic style like realistic painting. I am fascinated by old photographs capturing seaside scenes and women's fashion from the first half of the twentieth century, which have so much character. Most of these photos, the female beauty and beauty of nature inspire my works. My goal is to capture the play of light and shadow, create harmonious paintings, with a calm atmosphere that soothes the viewer's soul in this hasty world. With every painting I attempt to tell a story. I falled in love with the art of painting because it is like meditation to me, like an island of calm in a stormy sea.
