Biography
Biography
Joseph Csató was born in Mezőkövesd, Hungary. He studied Visual Communication at the College of Eger. Between 2000 and 2006 he studied at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts with Dóra Maurer. In 2003, he recieved the Menyhért Tóth Foundation Scholarship, and from 2004 he continued his studies at the University of Fine Arts in Nürnberg as an Erasmus Scholarship recipient.
Csató mostly uses oilpaint and watercolor. His art carries neonative and neoprimitive stylistic traits. In his paintings he does not add irrelevant or distracting features to his protagonists, but focuses on a few characteristics, giving only a minimalistic description of the represented figures.
Each of his paintings capture life situations and moments familiar to all. Csató's attraction to special moments gives his representation of these scenes a very unique tone.
