Ádám Misch
ARTIST'S STATEMENT
He was always searching for something, scratching the surface of what one may call reality. His concept of truth was what lay beneath the varnish he used, which was perpetually labeled and classified by individuals who had nothing better to do. I don’t think he ever cared whether his art was an example of ‘lyrical expressionism’ or just an ‘expressive lyric’. His sole aim was to express ideas and emotions through mediums provided by nature. /Antal Lux/
