Lilla Varhelyi

Classical and 'early music' and painting have determined my whole life since childhood. Born in Hungary, I studied music in Budapest and emigrated to Germany in the mid-80s. I have lived and worked in the Eifel for over 30 years. Music is my main pillar, visual art my second. It all began with drawing and the obligatory: practice, practice, practice. After experimenting with different techniques, there are three that I prefer to all the others: two slow ones (oil painting and etching) and one fast one (ink drawing). I am fascinated by the contrast between the linear and the flat. My ink drawings are pure brush drawings. I make the oil paintings using 'old master painting techniques'. One simple thing was to find a theme in my art: as a great animal lover, it was very obvious that I 'limit' myself to depictions of animals. But every now and then I get inspired by nature: trees, meadows, etc.

I draw every day and have been doing so for 25 years. Themes, techniques and drawing style show a clear signature, but they change continuously and always remain in flux.

I love series (not TV!), such as tree studies, corvids or people with animals, red ink drawings, etc.

My works - which I present exclusively online - are in private collections worldwide.
