Lorincz’s vision

Áron Lőrincz (Aron Lorincz) is a contemporary oil painter based in Budapest, Hungary.

He paints imagined, staged scenes of ordinary objects and quiet spaces that feel at once found and constructed. Though it may seem secondary, what he wants first is to make perfection felt. Nature is perfect in itself, and so is its light; he reaches for it through a realistic style, through soft light, proportion and perspective, building a calm, ordered and harmonious ground.

The tension and the story come from the human thread. Though no one appears in them, these scenes are portraits all the same, of thoughts, experiences and feelings, the imprints of human existence. Within the ordered surface he searches for small imbalances, suspended and uncertain states, objects and situations that resist a clear explanation. The scenes are fictional, and never quite nameable on purpose, so that each viewer connects through their own experiences and memories and finds something there that already belongs to them.

Each painting begins in a long phase of digital experiment, an endless flow of images in which he stages and composes his imaginary scenes. What is endlessly changing on screen becomes singular in paint. A background in analog film, painting and architectural visualization shapes his attention to composition and light, and every finished work keeps the trace of the hand that made it.
