About the Artist:

I am an introverted and a very private person. Born in New York City the youngest of three boys’.

My mother Megan Doloures, was born on the beautiful island of Barbados, She is quite a beauty and has inspired many of my works.  Her family’s from Brazil, Para to be exact.

My Father Ference was born in Papa, Budapest Hungary, they met in the airport immigration office mother visiting relatives for thanksgiving my father refugee from the Hungarian revolution, mother’s family felt sorry for him and invited him for thanksgiving dinner, my father never left.

As a child I was always able to escape into a world of my own, drawing as early as I can remember mostly animals, I then wanted to be a veterinarian. At age nine I won a summer scholarship to Pratt University from that point on I was hooked. I attended High school of Art & Design then college at Fashion Institute of Technology, I also attended The American Musical and Dramatic Academy for two years.

The perfect harmony between what I learned in art school and the development of my own style is what gives that real art results. I also remember coming across an old Vogue Magazine with a stunning red head on the cover, the quote was something like “America Takes Paris” the cover model and inside spread was the incredible Suzy Parker WOW. I was never the same.

I’ve been married once to Johanna Matusalem an Icelandic Beauty and dear friend. She helped me discover myself and my sexuality I learned how to give and receive love in all its shapes and forms. I strive to have love in my life and heart.
