Budapest-Barcelona
I was born in Budapest but currently I live in Barcelona.
I have illustrated many stories from all over the world from different cultures. I published more than 40 books for kids and teenagers and lately I write and illustrate my own stories.
I love playing with strong colors and different techniques. With my books I encourage kids to read, and make their imagination fly.
I have made several animated shorts, I collaborate with puppet theaters and I make workshops as well.
