A full CV is available, please feel free to ask for more details if you may be interested.
What?
During his career, Sandor designed unique handmade bags and was involved in painting, icon, and fresco painting, he is creating photos (both analog & digital), short films, and performance art. Often he is experimenting with rare things, applying chemicals used in photography on photo paper "painting with light". He is interested to break the boundaries between concepts and he believes that some problems simply can’t be solved by singular means.
Nowadays?
In the last years, Sandor is concentrating parallel on photography and nature art, capturing the light in different ways, and creating his stone balancing Antenæ projects.
Why?
While he is using a variety of modern technologies, materials, and processes in each project his methodology is consistent. In a world that is constantly changing via incredible leaps in technology and unbelievable strains upon the environment, he is constantly questioning our connection to the land and he is researching our loss of connection to that land.
How?
Sandor believes that energy connects us within space and time to each other, to our planet and cosmos. Performance and ritual have always played an essential role in his work. He is finding peace and fulfillment in the creative process, especially when he is experimenting and combining different mediums.

Home?
Born and raised in Transilvania, however, finishing his studies in 2003, Sándor settles in Hungary where he is working as a freelance visual artist, painting and restoring frescos until 2013 when he is relocating again, at this time to Scotland. Between 2015 - 2018 he was a resident of Malta, but finally, in 2018 he decided to move back to Scotland, which at this time, definitely became his home.
Art?
Living and creating in Budapest, Sándor is developing a good financial background in making art. A bit too late, however, with time he realized that basically he had just deviated from his path, therefore in the past years he decided to return to his roots and to create strictly as an artist instead of being treated as an art business.
Insurance?
Sandor Nagy is holding worldwide public and product liability, as well as professional indemnity insurance for up to £5,000,000.
