DESIRE IX.

Pelles, originally a graphic artist, left behind a successful career spanning nearly twenty years when he suddenly, almost overnight, turned to painting. He is an instinctive artist whose intense, layer-by-layer works, created without sketches, are unmistakable due to his strong yet sensitive sense of color and his characteristic style of representation. He has already had several exhibitions of his works in Hungary, when in 2000 he was invited to an exhibition in Minneapolis (USA). In the same year, his works were exhibited in New Canaan and Pensacola, and then several times in Chicago with great success. His American agent organized several exhibitions of his works in the United States, where he won awards. In Europe, his works have been presented in Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and Italy. In addition to Hungary, he also works in Spain, Italy and Austria. His works have so far reached twenty-eight countries around the world, into homes and offices, from New York to London and from Dubai to Tokyo.
