Zoltan Pogonyi
Singapore
I graduated from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (Budapest, Hungary) as a Designer in Visual Communication (MA). After working as a graphic designer for several years, in 2006, I got a job offer from Industrial Light & Magic (A Lucasfilm division) to work as a matte painter in their newly opened office in Singapore. Ever since I've been living in this unique and charming Asian country. Since 2011 I have been working as an educator in a design & media school.
The natural world, especially birds, has always fascinated me. I love observing and photographing their behaviours. In my paintings, I like to explore and study further these fantastic feathery animals and represent their unique - sometimes very human-like - characteristics.
