Now a California resident, Sergon grew up surrounded by the diverse cultural influences of China, Japan, and South East Asia. After winning first place in a nationwide painting competition, he was admitted as scholar to the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts and later went on further studies at the Scudia Lorenzo de Medici in Florence, Italy.
Sergon was born in Manila and is noted for his paintings of brilliant still lifes and lush gardens. His highly prized canvases of Japanese Koi fish and lovely, mysterious women garbed in richly colored Japanese kimonos give one an insight into his skills as an artist. The paintings are realistic in form and detail, and yet there is an impressionistic aura surrounding each piece. It is the blend of technical ability and specific subject matter which creates a work revealing the life within the image.
Officially, the artist is the body, mind and soul of the objects he depicts on canvas. His paintings are relatively unruffled, marked with tranquility yet mastered with full, vibrant lines because he refuses to sign a canvas until total harmony is realized.
Sergon has achieved recognition as an exceptional talent here and abroad. His works are on display in various private and government offices, notably the Philippine Embassy in Washington D.C. His numerous collectors include such noted figures as Uri Geller, Gabe Kaplan, and the former First Lady of the Philippines, Mrs. Imelda R. Marcos. She not only owns a substantial number of his paintings but specially commissioned Sergon murals for the Chief Executive Palace. He has also represented the Philippines in international art shows in Australia and Spain.
At the age of 18 she exhibited her paintings for the first time.
She studied at the Academy of Art. After finishing her studies she worked for ten years with a group of artists.
Due to many exhibitions her work is well known in Hungary and abroad.
Her subjects are the objects of our daily life: flowers, fruits and little bits and pieces from the past. She likes to paint water color landscapes too.
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.
