Csilla Orban
The cityscapes of Csilla Orban occupy a unique
position on the current art market. Although they depict
specific and often recognisable locations, their particular
brilliance lies in the creation of atmosphere rather than
the accuracy of detail. By merging colours and blurring
the reflected light in the rain-slicked streets, Csilla
conveys the fast-moving essence of her chosen subject
in her own distinctive way.
Csilla Orban was born in 1961 in Budapest, Hungary. She
graduated from the University of Budapest in 1984 with
a Masters Degree in Art and followed this up with a
year as a scholarship student in the former USSR. After
spending much of her twenties travelling around Europe
she finally settled in the UK.
Fascinated by these exciting foreign cultures, Csilla Orban was
inspired to paint what she saw. Her favourite place and
the one which first galvanised her imagination was
Paris, and she was entranced byits intimate cafes,
grand boulevards and bohemian culture. She
was a member and a co-secretary of the Parisian
Independent Salon's Hungarian group since 1996,
where she helped several talented young artists to
establish their reputation on the
Hungarian art scene.
Csilla's artistic creed is to paint 'faithfully and with
humanity'. She has participated in many international
exhibitions, and in 2004 she received the
'Genius Talent Prize' in Budapest at the exhibition
celebrating the entry of Hungary into the European
Union. Eventually, after spending six months in the
USA, in June 2006 she participated in a joint
exhibition of contemporary painters in Texas
which brought her to the notice of a wider
international audience.
