From the at Home series.
Oil on canvas. W 70 x H 100 cm.
This painting is about our very immaterial experience of being at home. We left our home country Hungary in 2006 and moved to Saarbruecken Germany. We lived there for 8 months and then moved to Berlin Germany. There I have had my first son born, moving from flat to flat in every 9-12 months. After 3 years we moved to Amsterdam, where we lived for one year. Then again back to Berlin for another 3 years. Then we moved to Bangkok and lived there for 2 years, where my second son was born, after that moved to Singapore for 1 year and then to London where we live since the Summer of 2017. We had so many flats, homes, home cities, home countries and even continents that mix together into an experience of being home that is utterly non physical and non tangible. Where is our real home, where is that place, and house, and door, and door number, and doorbell and the bricks in the wall? It’s all a memory and a call at the same time. We are all going home, every one of us, all the time. We have learned being at home in this going home.
