Gulyás László's Paintings

Hungary's Gulyás László, born 1960 Jeweler, painter, sculptor, and graphic artist. Hungarian by birth. The School of Fine and Applied Arts and Advertising Graphics awarded him a degree. He then proceeded to the Academy of Fine Arts to finish his studies. He joined the National Society of Hungarian Artists in 1987. Guyash presents himself as an heir to the Baroque painting traditions, particularly those of Caravaggio and the early Rembrandt. Actually, the diverse painters of the 19th century Mihai Zichy and Janos Valentin are his forebears and role models. Guyash works in what is referred to as "high kitsch"; two of its most well-known practitioners were Hungarian residents and artists Maria Santo and Miklos Michalovic. USA's Pal Fried and Norway's Charles Roca. Laszlo Guyás is a commercially successful artist whose work is always in demand by collectors; most of his pieces are cabinet-sized.
