Mária Luggosy, sculptor(Munkácsy Prize holder)

She was born in Budapest, 9th May 1950. Her studies: Hungarian Craft School (1968-73), Postgraduate Institute of Hungarian Craft School (1973-75). “ I declare myself a sculptor, in whose accessories the glass can also be found. According to my school qualification I was a metallurgist. The glass came into my life when I was entranced by the wonderful world of mineral stones and crystals, observing in them the regularities and eventualities. This duality is accompanying ever since my sculpture world, out of which slowly a certain philosophic mentality was born; the comparison of opposites and its constant simultaneous presence. The glass in my work is not unexclusive and not privileged, but it was worth to learn with a lot of struggle how to handle what this material is dictate; from the optical precision to the capricious nature-principled sand-blowing.”
Her exhibitions: Budapest (Art Gallery), Tihany, Hamburg, Tokyo, Paris, Frankfurt, London, New York, Düsseldorf.
