She earned her degree in architecture in 2006 from the Faculty of Architecture at Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Since then, K\u0151szeghy has worked in several prominent Budapest offices, including as a designer for the joint headquarters of Budapest Telekom and T-Systems. In 2017, she established her own practice. Her current firm, Studio K\u0151szeghy, is focusing primarily on the revitalization of historical buildings and strengthening the connection between architecture and art. Her paintings, installations, and models conceptually relate to her architectural work, approached through digitalization. K\u0151szeghy is currently a DLA candidate at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, exploring the interplay between virtual and real spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artist page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/flora.koszeghy\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/flora.koszeghy\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Architecture website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.studiokoszeghy.com\">www.studiokoszeghy.com<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/studio_koszeghy\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/studio_koszeghy\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Matter is only a medium for thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I have visited Fl\u00f3ra K\u0151szeghy\u2019s studio several times, I am familiar with her works and I gladly agreed to write a short reflection on the works of a practicing colleague in a short preface to a catalogue, as there is no space for more in a foreword. <br>     In the arts, there is no ranking, neither is it possible to make one, despite the fact that there have been important thinkers, who have seen either music or architecture to be superior to other arts, and to be considered greater among the arts. It is obvious, if only on the basis of common sense, that the art of dance, for example, has its own means and possibilities, something that is available only to it, and that this is obviously true of the other disciplines. It is not even worth discussing this question, and I only raise it in the context of this article, because Flora K\u0151szeghy, as an active architect, and as an active visual artist, has chosen to work in two genres: she is both an architect and a regularly exhibiting artist. This is not surprising, because our time is pervaded and characterised by a new phenomenon in culture: the interpenetration of previously closed art forms, that were fixed within their own framework, now tend to mix their modes of expression, their tools being used together and in parallel. I could cite the example of the widely known performance art, a new artistic phenomenon, that is part of the visual arts, perhaps best known under the name of Marina Abramovic, which is a specific combination of theatre and visual arts. Of course, there are other examples, I will not discuss them here, but I would like to relate this idea and this phenomenon to a very brief analysis of Fl\u00f3ra K\u0151szeghy\u2019s work, and since her undeniably interdisciplinary approach is obvious to me, I think it is also the key to understanding her paintings, so I will think about her work in this perspective. <br>     First and foremost, it is remarkable and almost comforting that K\u0151szeghy chose to use classical oil and canvas technique, the traditional solution of painting introduced since the Renaissance. It is through this use of material and its form that she expresses her visual ideas to us. Of course, the matter is only a medium for the ideas. It is only a tool that helps the artist to express her formulated ideas, to find the basis of articulation, of \u201evisibility\u201d, to convey her wishes and her expressed opinions to the world in this material form. The traditional use of material could, of course, be misleading if it were not accompanied by a much more important aspect of the works, the aspect of content, a fundamentally modern attitude towards traditional material, a sensitive perception of the present, the current historical time. At this point, we arrived at the concept of placing Fl\u00f3ra K\u0151szeghy\u2019s paintings in a particular context within the framework of contemporary art (this time only in sentences). Obviously, it will be immediately clear to everyone that in these works there is no place or meaning for embellishment, and that creating cheap and \u201etasteful\u201d home decoration is not part of the artist\u2019s intentions. Her intents are much higher than that. K\u0151szeghy\u2019s interdisciplinary position, her skills, her dual \u201aidentity\u2019 as an architect and artist in one, interestingly designated for her, perhaps not consciously, a visual perspective.<br>     Her world is a representation of space, sometimes containing complex shapes, representing two different planes, sometimes meeting, diverging, reuniting, while simultaneously undergoing colour changes, and representing a current, often \u201ealienated\u201d 21st century world view, which is also a reflection of the artist\u2019s creative imagination, and her own world of forms. The collisions of smoothly articulated or harshly grinding forms, sometimes depicting specific technical details of buildings or machines, can provide a deeper interpretation of the paintings, and may even offer a symbolic invocation of our general social conflicts for people who have the \u201eear and eye to decode the message of art\u201d. Looking at the works, another particularity of this kind of art is that in the early twentieth century, the split in the visual arts, (a gross simplification), into either representational \u201enaturalistic\u201d or, so-called, abstract modes of representation, which in the works we see here, are not separated and this could be understood as a search for a new kind of synthesis of the two positions, sometimes capable of repositioning the differences in worldviews. This is the course that the creator of these paintings is now pursuing, in a way that I feel is both remarkable and appropriate.<br>     To speculate on K\u0151szeghy\u2019s further path, her further experiments and their realisation, \u201eon the broad highway of art\u201d would be dumbness on my part. But there is no doubt ,that with her strong will, her desire for self-expression, and her real visional awareness, we can expect further works from this committed artist, whose new and more recent initiatives in the form of exhibitions are an encouraging perspective for the future, overcoming the general neurosis of our time and the sense of crisis that has become part of our everyday life, often justified, perhaps sometimes exaggerated. But we hope that the deep instinctive creativity and artistic power inherent in human beings will continue to exist, and that it\u2019s specific manifestations are present here in a visible and tangible way in the thought-provoking works of Fl\u00f3ra K\u0151szeghy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> K\u00e1roly Klim\u00f3<br> painter, graphic, notable member of Sz\u00e9chenyi Academy of Literature and Arts <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Budapest, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fl\u00f3ra K\u0151szeghy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Education:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Education:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2023\n&#8211; Doctoral School of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2011 &#8211; Absolutorium at the The Doctoral School of Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2006 &#8211; Archietcural degree at Budapest&nbsp;University of Technology and Economics&nbsp; Budapest &#8211; Architectural Faculty<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2004 &#8211; Erasmus Scholarship at Ecole d\u2019architecture de Paris la Villette<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Exhibitions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Selected solo shows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mind the mind I Sesztina Gallery, Debrecen, HU<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mind on canvas I Hybridart Space Gallery, Budapest, HU<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2023<br> Elastic Scale   I   FUGA Gallery, Budapest, HU <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2022<br> Architectural Being   I   Fest;tiszt\u00edt Gallery, Budapest, HU<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2021<br>\nAnalogues   I   \u00daj M\u0171hely Gallery, Szentendre, HU <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2020<br>\nSpatial cuts vol.3. ..LAS   I   Kahan Art Space, Budapest, HU<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2019<br>\nSpatial cuts vol.2.
