TIBOR POLGÁR
Architect & Visual Artist
Somewhere along the way, my architectural sketches began to inspire something else.
I am an architect, educated at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, with 30 years of professional experience.
In architectural drawings, every line has a purpose. Inspired by sketches from my architectural work, I began creating drawings that were no longer tied to a specific building or function.
Freed from these constraints, lines and geometric forms could develop new relationships and become independent compositions.
What began as spontaneous sketching gradually evolved into a series of artworks, moving from drawings to digital images and physical objects. Along the way, each new work opened up unexpected possibilities, inspiring further exploration.
For me, the creative process itself — experimenting, discovering, and making — is just as enjoyable and meaningful as the finished artworks.
I would like to take you through some of the key stages of this journey.
