Photo gallery: Exhibition of artworks by a Hungarian Graphic Artist in New Delhi, India

On February 10, 2023, Liszt Institute – Hungarian Cultural Centre Delhi organised an exhibition called ‘AIM FOR THE STARS’. The exhibition showcases fifteen artworks by Hungarian Graphic Artist, Ms. Orsolya Csilléry.

The event was inaugurated by Dr. Marianne Erdő, Director of Liszt Institute-Hungarian Cultural Centre Delhi and Ms. Orsolya Csilléry, co-founder and art teacher of the Fenyvesi Painting School, at Lokayata Art Gallery, Hauz Khas Village, Delhi. The Exhibition will be open to the public from 10th to 16th February, 2023.

Ms. Orsolya Csilléry, a graphic artist, is one of the founding teachers of Fenyvesi Painting School, Zebegény in Hungary. The Fenyvesi Painting School is the private painting school of painter Gábor Fenyvesi and the graphic artist Orsolya Csilléry. The School is in the Danube bend, a region of Hungary with unique natural endowments, in a picturesque waterfront village Zebegény.

This small village, whose first holiday houses and villas began to be built at the turn of the century, is traditionally a popular place of creation for artists. The villa’s fame comes from its previous owners: the Szepessy-Gottesmann family, including painter Amrita Sher-Gil and the scholar of Indian culture, Ervin Baktay, both of whom often spent their vacations in the inspiring surroundings of Zebegény.
