Balazs Wanyi (B.W.A.)

(Hungarian, b. 1943)

Balazs Wanyi was born in Hungary, in 1943.

While studying at the Technical University of Budapest he started to develop his artistic talent, and rather than becoming an architect he became an artist. However, all through his work the precise drawing of his original background can be felt.

Balazs went to England for a lengthy stay and became popular amongst the London gallery scene. His fine, hyper-realistic still-life paintings won him fame and wide acclaim.

In the late eighties, when his home country, Hungary, was free at last, he returned to Budapest and established himself as a successful artist, whose work is collected in many countries throughout Europe and now North America.
