Desolate Beauty is a project that combines the seemingly opposing concepts of beauty and desolation (and sometimes even destruction and decay). Beauty is embodied by captivating women (occasionally men), while desolation is reflected in the physical state of the locations where the artist invites and immortalizes the protagonists of his stories. The women are adorned in beautiful garments or are nude – but they are always beautiful. This unusual collage significantly impacts the artist’s sense of aesthetics and emotional state. The sum of beauty and decay always results in… beauty (just as good always triumphs over evil). Loneliness is another common element in the various photographs – regardless of how many people are present in each shot. This continuously growing project has achieved national and international acclaim. Notably, it won first place and a gold medal at the Budapest International Photography Awards (BIFA) in 2023 (in the Portfolio category), third place and a bronze medal at the Tokyo International Photography Awards (TIFA) in 2023 (“Abandoned”, in the Fine Art and Portrait category), and a platinum medal at the London Photography Awards in 2024 (“Hope”, in the Fine Art category). These works are well known to a broad audience, as detailed in the Exhibitions and Publications sections. They adorn many spaces, both private and public, and are also featured in national and European auctions.
