István Gyebnár Diplomat, Fine Artist

István Gyebnár,
Diplomat and Fine Artist
(Budapest, 19. 12. 1961 - )

With the encouragement of his mother, the painter and graphic artist, Gizella Fejes, István Gyebnár was introduced to fine arts as a student of the acclaimed Hungarian sculptor, Mrs. Zsuzsa Lóránt, during his high-school years. As a member of the Fine Art Circle of István Dési Huber, he studied drawing and took part in a number of exhibitions. His master is the fine artist Éva Bednay (Eve B'ay) whose work influenced him from his early childhood. He has been influenced by the Hungarian artists András Rác and Márton Barabás, too.

1986 he graduated from the University of Economics, Faculty International Relations in Budapest. 1995 he received a scientific title "Doctor of University" (PhD). After his graduation he entered the Hungarian Foreign Service and followed since a career as a Diplomat.

Mr. Gyebnar looks for ways to make connections between arts and diplomacy. He uses both to improve human contacts. Over the years he lived in different European capitals: Berlin, Vienna, London and The Hague. He visited many great museums and also had the opportunity to acquaint himself with Asian and South-American cultures and artistic techniques.

During his travels he became an enthusastic photographer. Photography serves to enrich his artistic expression. Photo Laureates awarded him the title „One of the best photographers of the year: 2008”.

He exhibited his oil-paintings, oil-pastels and photographs in a number of European capitals (e.g. Goethe Institut, Rotterdam, 2009). Special expressive forms and bright colours are typical of his mostly abstract, yet in many cases figurative works. His artworks convey special messages, associations and sentiments strongly related to the age we live in.
