Favorite travel destination
Budapest

My work is
The playful search for beauty

Inspiration comes from
Lovely gardens, the human body

Greatest lesson learned
After spending 16 months in a Stalinist prison, I felt that all life after that was a gift

I love
A rounded shape that fits nicely into the hand
