I was born in Óbecse, Vojvodina, as the son of István Csasznyi, a sculptor, and Róza Knecht, an art teacher. After completing my high school education and mandatory Yugoslav military service, under parental pressure, I continued my studies at the Technical University in Novi Sad. However, unable to break free from my artistic passion, I interrupted my mechanical engineering studies to apply to the Cyril and Methodius University of Arts in Skopje. Despite successfully passing the entrance exam, I couldn’t begin the semester due to the Yugoslav wars. Leaving Yugoslavia behind, I had to start a new life in Hungary, working as an illustrator  at Pannónia Film Studio alongside József Gémes. Later, I worked as a restorer, and meanwhile, I continued sculpting in my own studio. Currently residing and creating in Budapest, I regularly participate in both Hungarian and international exhibitions with my sculptures and paintings.

My works generally arise from individual fragments. Instead of a preconceived concept, during the creative process the emphasis is much more on processes and momentary impressions. According to my belief, allowing space for the Muse in this way enables the creation of a perfect whole from details. My creations aim to depict the deeper connections of life, the questions of choice and predestination, the possibilities of

understanding ideas, and the intricate web of human relationships. Sacral and mysterious elements also hold great importance in my works.

My sculptural technique follows two main directions. A portion of my compositions is crafted using bronze, stone, and wood. Bronze, due to its nobility and purity, is my preferred material. My bronze sculptures often feature the human body as the subject. According to my belief, the visible world is only a part of the Whole, so my sculptures often represent fragments since portraying reality or completeness is impossible.

Another group of my sculptures is made using resin. This technique reflects the endeavor to create something constant with artistic value from transient, changing materials. Solidifying and preserving easily decomposable materials, such as paper, seems to capture a moment of transience and change forever. These creations are bolder, more startling, and more naturalistic, but the theme remains centered on human life, its quality, and contingency.

My painting – generally using oil and 22 carat gold – can also be divided into two main directions. My figurative works mostly revolve around the cycle of life, typically utilizing the figure of a woman. In my non-figurative works, I explore the question of origin. I represent the dilemma between the narrative of the created world (creation story) as represented by religion and the viewpoint of accidental birth (Big Bang) according to science. This is portrayed through the interpretation of today’s modern world and the binary language of IT.
