Artist life

Zsuzsa Szikra was born in 1951 in the Szechenyi castle[2] which served as a hospital and which was situated in the town of Marcali in Hungary. Already at an early age Zsuzsa was influenced by the paintings and other forms of art her father made. The talents of her father, Janos Szikra,[3][4] reached from making portraits to landscape painting, and to making stage decors for theatre productions. During her childhood Zsuzsa spend her summer holidays with her grandmother on the shores of Lake Balaton in Hungary. Ilona Takats was a talented poet and architect and had extensive contacts with the Hungarian writers of her time.[5][6] Through this grandmother Zsuzsa met Gyula Illyes the famous Hungarian writer. His books and the personal talks she had with Gyula Illyes influenced her later works of art. Zsuzsa and her grandmother made long boat trips on the lake Balaton which made a lasting impression on Zsuzsa and are reflected in her art.[7] Following her creative instincts Zsuzsa went to a special art high school in Pécs, the Pécsi Művészeti Gimnázium és Szakközépiskola.[8] At this high school she came in contact with the works of Victor Servranckx, whose style was influenced by cubism and constructivism. After high school she got an entry to Hungarian University of Fine Arts, Magyar Képzőművészeti Egyetem in Hungarian, in Budapest. Here she studied under Simon Sarkantyu[9] and the famous Jeno Barcsay who made the “Anatomy For Artists”,[10] which has been translated into over fifty languages. Zsuzsa Szikra studied together with Tamás Vilmos Kovács,[11] Mária Mihályfi,[12][13] Janos Kalmar[14] and Zsuzsa Lics.[15]

Poetic abstract art

Like Viktor Vasarely, a Hungarian French painter, Zsuzsa Szikra was schooled at a Pécs high school and later at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, Magyar Képzőművészeti Egyetem in Hungarian. Both painters have abstract geometrical works being the art of Szikra Zsuzsa more poetical.[7]
