Istvan Kostura

Valencia, Spain •

Artist (Drawing) •

Born unknown date •

Moving between patterns, geometric abstraction and distinct compositions, Istvan Kostura investigates the ‘rational aesthetics’ and ‘elegant simplicities’. Through the deconstruction of everyday forms and lines, Kostura’s art finds new compositions of repetitive patterns with figurative elements in it. Istvan Kostura’s drawings explore ideas of expressive structures, architectural motifs and iteration. By combining an artistic research of structures and distinct lines using ballpoint pens, Kostura’s works awaken organic forms.
