Biography

Arisztid Szendy, born on May 16, 1936 in Hungary, came from a family of artists like his uncles who were painters and musicians.

He came to France in 1956, the day after the Hungarian revolution.

He began his studies in France at the Beaux Arts in Paris under the guidance of Giacometti, Zadkine and Adam. He learned the art of drawing, modeling and sculpture on different materials but was particularly attached to alloys such as brass and bronze.

He was commissioned to create a bas-relief at the Bank of Bilbao and at the Sand Museum in Port Barcares, took part in exhibitions at the Grand Palais, such as "Jeune sculpture", l'Art sacré, Réalités nouvelles de Paris, and went to settle in Beauce where he appreciated its large expanses of fields in varied colours.

After a passage in the abstract, he comes to the figurative using repoussé, according to boilermaking techniques.

His sculptures evoke women, amplify them, sometimes distort them... he draws a lot of inspiration from fertility.

Its creativity comes above all from internal communication, research...

Over the years, the artist began to make smaller sculptures until he turned to jewelry, which allowed him to participate in the large art studio and Bijhorca fairs twice a year.
