”In the art of Tamás Olescher, after the so-called postmodern period, the imagery is again fulfilled with meaning and sense, the sensory and spiritual fields interacting, relying on three kinds of traditions. These are quality art, spiritual imagery and the cosmic view of the world saved in rustic culture – through alloying one with the other and defining them.” – Dr. Katalin Keseru (art historian).
