I was born in Budapest, Hungary, but obtained my artistic training in Norway, where I graduated from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. Having received a post-graduate scholarship, I moved to Paris to study at L´École des Beaux-Arts. While in Paris I also had a one-man show in Galerie Le Grand Berceau. On my return to Oslo after 1 ½ year in France, I was soon given an opportunity to display my paintings in Galleri Engebret.
In 1966 I emigrated to Denmark, where I still live and work, with a permanent address in the seaside Copenhagen suburb of Rungsted. Around 2000, I took up painting again and now work full-time as a painter.
