I am Klára Körmendi, painter.

I grabbed first a brush in 2018. It was an intimidating, significant moment that I remember as clearly as if it happened yesterday. Before that, I was looking for my path for a long time, trying to find myself, and my profession. My passion for painting was born right away – the courage to step up to the profession later grew alongside.

MY ART

Until 2020, I attended classes and courses in various painting studios, and I developed myself on my own; I practiced, painted a lot. I could never have enough time for it. There wasn’t enough time, no matter how much I spent on it. It was time for me to pursue this activity on a next level: I was looking for a mentor. I met the contemporary painter Boglárka Nagy, from whom I could learn a lot. In 2021, through regular private sessions for several months I started to acquire the basics. I think I was undeniably influenced by her art as well. Later on my journey, I met the artist Viktor Kiss, who I also started to take private sessions from. Viktor helped me to unleash an artistic essence from very deep down. I could be part of a true and humble learning process at both of them’.

The hard work and practice of recent years and the sacrifices made for the purpose led to an exponential technical improvement. There have been a lot of feelings, states of mind and inspiration in my spirit and in my head for a long time. I “just” had to train my hands and vision. The kind of sensitivity that I always thought was a disadvantage, suddenly made sense. It became the gas on fire. Until then, I have fought against it, tried to keep it under control, to meet the ‘job expectations’, to stay objective, and so on. This “weakness” transformed to my greatest strength during this beautiful transformation.

In 2022, I stepped on my own way; in addition, I keep improving myself, I constantly look for opportunities, and strive to dig deeper and deeper into this beautiful process.

With my painting I try to catch things, put them on canvas that affect me, have significance. Water (Aqua) has always been a central element in my life. I spent a lot of time at Lake Balaton thanks to family roots, which earned a decisive role, but I also love the sea, the water of the pool; or any form of water in which one can be immersed. Besides, I was always curious about the Human (Figura). Physically, mentally, spiritually, what she/he is capable of, why is she/he here, what is his/her purpose, how do we live together, human relationships, feelings, sensations …. Partially, this deep interest, curiosity about the origin of things, led me to yoga. The world of yoga (Zen), oriental culture is close to me and regularly helps me when I lose my balance. These three main topics are what give me the most vivid inspiration for my creations. I think there is just enough horror, terror, anger, difficulty, sorrow in the world. I want to provide a momentary spiritual oasis. A moment when we can sigh and think of nice things. To the beautiful. To harmony. The creative power of thought is now a scientifically proven fact, so if my painting can contribute to make someone’s life better with a thought filled with a positive feeling, it has fulfilled its purpose.
