PROKOP IGOR EUGEN, Born in 1953, Lives and works in Visegrad, Budapest, Hungary.
“I love the sea, the grass, the tree, the animals, the animate and inanimate world. The material. Am I perhaps a narrow-minded materialist? No, the spirit is immaterial, but the material is the worldly manifestation of the spirit.
When I worked as a dental technician, I cast metal and mold wax, plaster, and porcelain. I was not captivated by this narrow range of people. I studied Biology and drawing and also taught them; I was wandering around in the world, loved the colorful, transparent world of the Cuban seas, the whirling movement of the barracudas, the endless and timeless space of the Mongolian deserts, the chaotic and artistic magic of Indonesia. Although my homesickness drives me home to Hungary, being here, I do not know where my real home is, and I long to return there.”

“I have traveled around the world and know: it is small, blue, and fragile! This is what I see from the height of 11.000 meters. But through my microscope,
I can sense the cavalcade of similar momentary magic as well. As time passes by, I have experienced during my trips that all this is perishing. I do not want my children, my students, the explorers of the future not to be able to see this magic.
I am presenting some fragments from the endless world and giving them to the spectators with love.”
-Igor Jeno Prokop’s philosophy.
