About this title

About the Author

The classical influences in Csaba Markus art are tied to his origins in Budapest, Hungary, where he was born in 1953. His formative years were spent in the city of Budapest, a bustling and modern metropolis with over two thousand years of history. Even as a young child, Markus was physically and emotionally driven to express himself through painting, sculpting, and a variety of mediums. He had initially began his career as a sculptor, and even in the early stages of his artistic growth, his natural talent was evident. At the tender age of fourteen, he and his work were featured on international public television, and Markus experienced the first tantalizing taste of success and recognition for his art. As a youth he passed countless hours in museums, intently studying the paintings and sculpture of artists such as Michelangelo, Botticelli, and El Greco. While his school friends dreamed of finding fame on the soccer field, young Markus was teaching himself from the works of the Old Masters. Almost wholly self-taught, his hunger for knowledge fueled his personal and artistic growth. His artistic development, however, was hindered by the rigorous controls of the Communist system in his native country. Leaving friends and family behind, Markus left Hungary in 1978, and eventually settled in California, determined to fulfill his destiny as a great artist. After many years of tireless endeavor, Markus s artistic prowess was properly recognized, and his paintings were introduced to an eager world audience. Markus s distinctive style, which has been shaped by the varied influences and experiences of his unusual life, has an undeniably universal appeal. His work is currently displayed in prestigious art galleries throughout the United States, England, France Russia, South Africa and Japan, and his commissioned pieces hang in some of the most exclusive private collections in the United States.
