Biography

Flóra Kőszeghy graduated in 2006 as architect at the Architectural Faculty of the Technical University of Budapest. Since 2004 she has worked in several important offices in Hungary. She started at the office of Erick van Egeraat dutch architect as she was only a student. Later she worked at Zoboki and Demeter Architectural Studio. At Tiba Architecture Studio she was one of the lead architects of the Telekom and T-ySystem’s Headquaters Office Builiding in Budapest. She also worked for Peter Kis, and had projects with Judit Z. Halmágyi, Dezső Ekler, and several other important architect in Hungary. Since 2018 she runs her own office, the Studio Kőszeghy, where she designs large and small scale projects with her team.
Meanwhile Kőszeghy is a painter, since her grandmother was the student of Aba Novák, the great Hungarian painter. She has learnt a lot from family traditions, but in the last 10-15 years she was doing experiments following her own artistic concepts. During the last 6 years she had several exhibitions in Budapest, Debrecen, Barcelona and in Vienna too. Her own point of view is easily recognisable, not only by the colors and the painting method, but after the mood of the paintings. The hardy or not even recognizable enlarged details change even the atmosphere of the exhibitions space. Since 2018 she is experimenting with the extension of the paintings into space. These large installations represent Kőszeghy’s aim to connect architecture and art in a conceptual approach. She mixes the different mediums in an extraordinary way.
She is member of the TÁP Theater, which is one of the most important alternative theater company in Hungary, where she is painting on stage in one piece and designing stage set in the other. In her former works she mixed film and painting, just like bringing literature together with painting, by cutting parts of written texts as titles for paintings. With the use of the different mediums her focus is on the change in the spatial-virtual thinking in our age.
