Stories from the streets • 0 artwork
Every day I walk the streets of this big city, soak up its atmosphere and look for and find many motifs for my work.
Although sometimes the busy and hectic atmosphere on the streets seems exhausting, I usually come home from them full of energy and ideas.
In the silence and warmth of my home, I then interpret the mosaics of experiences from the street into the motifs and compositions of my paintings.
These works of mine may be sympathetic and close not only to those who like Budapest, but also to those who like the atmosphere of cities and maybe even a little nostalgia that can be felt from some paintings...
All paintings are on a 3.5 cm thick poplar wood panel.

Biography
Zsombor Barakonyi, born in 1972 in Budapest, Hungary, is a contemporary painter known for his unique visual language and innovative approach to reality. His postmodern panel paintings, characterized by visions of the metropolitan flâneur, challenge conventional methods and establish a dynamic relationship between content and objectuality.
Barakonyi's artistic development began with a solid educational foundation. He graduated from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts with a Doctor of Liberal Arts degree and furthered his studies with a scholarship at the Accademia Ungherese in Rome. Additionally, he participated in an Erasmus scholarship program at the London Institute, Camberwell College of Art, focusing on photography. His formal training culminated in an MA in Painting from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts.
Over the past decade, Barakonyi has honed his distinctive style, marked by a blend of historical art knowledge and transcendental viewpoints. His works are known for their mature artistic logic, offering viewers a multidimensional experience that goes beyond the visual. Each painting captures a moment in the urban chaos, revealing a new balance of perception.
Barakonyi's work has been showcased in major European cities and is part of numerous collections both in Hungary and abroad. His accolades include nominations and awards such as the Esterhazy Art Award (2011), the Leopold Bloom Award (2011), and the MTV Central European Network Hungary (2008). He also received the STRABAG artists' subsidy in 2007.
