(Bela Balog)
My name is Bela Balog. I was born in 1970 and live and work in Budapest (Hungary). I started out as a musician, but I ended up with fine arts and digital art within that. This is filling my time today, I live for it. I was always only really happy when I could express myself.

For all the information I come across. It could be a newspaper news or a photo, a story, or things that happened in my environment. Everyday is inspiring.
Elaboration of detail and richness of colors. These are all necessary to tell the stories. Because all my pictures are a whole story.
Although I am an educated classical musician, I listen to anything depending on my mood. From Mozart to jazz or to rock music.
This is not tied to an exact date. Years ago, I started creating listtle digital pictures of myself. At first they were very simple and then I gradually experimented with my own technique and started with my art.
In my apartment in my own studio where I create. No one there bothers me. When I work, my family respects that too.
Fortunately, I have been and will be exhibiting in many galleries in several countries. The possibility of Artebinaria is fantastic for me.
I tell stories. If these stories get people’s attention, it’s a great pleasure for me.
Because it is part of our culture, because it is part of our community culture. The ability to express oneself is one of the most important qualities of a person. To be free, it is absolutely necessary.
