A few words about the artist
My name is Mrs. Márta (Mária) Bánhidi Búza. I was born in Budapest in 1960. I was very much interested in drawing and painting as early as a child but I never developed my skills. After finishing high school I worked in many fields of health care from being a nurse to being the nursing director of a national medical institute of Hungary.
I rediscovered painting about 9 years ago, the desire to express myself on the canvas came back to me with elemental power. As I have never been educated in this profession I have developed my style and brushwork on my own.
In the beginning I found that I can best express my feelings and thoughts painting landscapes and in a sort of subjective-abstract way, resembling of impressionism the most.
I cannot recall the time when I first experienced the wonderful world of mandalas, all I remember is that I was immediately captured by them. I engage myself in painting mandalas and teaching about mandala painting. I consider drawing people’s attention to mandalas very important, especially because I have personally experienced their harmonizing-healing effect on the body and soul. Starting in 2001 I have spent 3 years dealing with ailing persons discovering the curing power of painting together.
I would like to convey happiness, beauty and harmony to people with my paintings and remind them of their true selves.
