"In my native Hungary, thanks to the many rivers and lakes, fishing is in the genes of the local people. You see fishermen sitting patiently waiting for a fish at every water level. In the past, fishermen caught fish from wooden barges much more than today. Today, many of them no longer serve and are only gnawed away by the ravages of time on the shores.
The painting captures one of them. It is a nostalgic look at the recent past, which is slowly fading from memory."

Péter Duhaj is a contemporary Hungarian painter whose artistic journey has been shaped by the influences of esteemed figures in Hungarian art history. Born with a passion for colors, shapes, and the essence of fleeting moments, Duhaj initially sought inspiration from the masters of academia, particularly drawing from the profound impact of Hungarian artists such as István Sándorfy, Zsolt Bodoni, László Nyári, and Tibor Csernus from the 20th century.
In the early stages of his career, Duhaj aimed to emulate the perspectives and techniques of these artistic luminaries, allowing their profound influence to guide his work. However, as his artistic voice matured, Duhaj began to carve out his own distinct style and means of expression. Through this evolution, he discovered a unique path that resonated with his personal vision and artistic sensibilities.
Confident in his direction, Péter Duhaj now navigates an artistic journey that is unmistakably his own. Liberated by the freedom to unleash his wild imagination, he creates works that captivate audiences worldwide. His art transcends boundaries, eliciting interest and admiration from diverse corners of the globe.
Duhaj's oeuvre is characterized by an unbridled exploration of colors, shapes, and moments that encapsulate emotions. His mastery is particularly evident in his depictions of nude figures - women, girls, and men - where his brilliant skill brings these subjects to life on canvas. The result is a collection of works that exude a nearly mystical and erotic charge, captivating viewers with the intensity of emotion conveyed through impeccably rendered forms.
