The Keeping of the Pure!

We are at our strongest when we are young, and, the visions which we follow are pure. But, with the passing of years and the running of minutes, our dreams tend to slide and give way to the demands and realities of everyday life!

But life, as Katalin Rath knows, can include all possible spectrums. And, she never let go of her childhood fantasies. And, she is living them now!

Growing up in Budapest, art was always part of her life, and, living just two blocks away from the city's museum of modern art, Katalin spent much of her free time in the company of truly great works. And, so it was that she took art to her heart and learned it and studied it and practiced it as much as she could. And then, with only 14, she was awarded first prize in the then famous Budapest Pavement Art Competition. Art was her passion, but, life, too, had to be won!

After finishing medical school, Katalin moved to Vienna, and, it was there that she not only specialized in dental surgery, but founded a family as well. And family life and working takes time, and, so it was that Katalin's art, for the time being, was tied up and moored away from the stream. But, still waters run deep!

And, deep below the surface the future was forming, and pieces were getting ready to appear, and, when Katalin floated her art back into view, a brand new acrylic style was ready and waiting!

And, it's waiting no more. Katalin is now regularly exhibiting her colorful large canvas dreams. And the interest is quietly and steadily growing; not only in Austria and Hungary, but elsewhere as well, and, all because she never let go of her dreams!

Dreams that come true and change with the light!
