He was born in Paszto village in Hungary in 7th of July in 1970.Even in primary school he showed an artistic talent,
but his farming parents didn’t believe in that.
Zoltan’s art teacher saw in this educationally struggling boy a talent, embraced him, encouraged him and talked to him about art.
At the beginning his success was when he was given a cigarette for one of his drawings
or in secondary school after entering a competition his drawing was displayed at the school.
After this unfortunately his hobby was forgotten, and he only picked up a pencil and a paintbrush in his later life.
This happened when he lost his mother and his brother. Painting was his therapy. Helped him to heal his haggard soul.
At the age of 40 his marriage broke down. In 2010 one of his friends invited him to Mexico to get over his pain.
He had very little money and didn’t speak the language when he arrived at Mexico.
He planned his visit for 1 month, but he stayed for 4 years. During this time, he was charged with the locals’ calm and happy outlook on life.
Zoltan soaked up the colours, ambiance, the scenery of the country and he was painting all the time.
He had more and more orders and exhibitions.
His best memory is when he had an exhibition in Tulum in the Pepe Nero Club,150 people came to see his paintings.
At the end he decided to move back to Hungary, he was missing his daughter.
In Hungary he had a surprising success when he was leading and art camp in Fonyod .
A film director (Rajmund Panuvics) and his actress wife (Viktoria Farkas) visited his studio and it lead
to a film which was shown in cinemas in Hungary with a title of “Jacky’s world”.
After moving back to Hungary he got married again and made new friends. Him and two
other artists decided to do an interactive studio and gallery in a cellar in Budapest.
After a hard work in 2014 the gallery opened. First under the name if Kazicum later Jancso Art Gallery. The gallery is open Wednesday-Saturday 4pm-8pm.
Because Jancso autodidact taught himself he is happy to help dedicated amateur artists.
His main aim to accommodate the art seedling-trees, break down the mystery around art and bring closer the artwork to whom who are interested in it.
Zoltan is proud that in his self-run business he met kind, talented artists who are not rivals, meet up regularly in or outside of the gallery.
He also has exhibitions in the nearby Szimpla- garden.
There and in the gallery he has many visitors from abroad too.
The artist picks his themes from his own life. He only paints landscapes if he has been at the location.
He doesn’t like taking orders, he doesn’t want his work turning into soulless routine work where he can’t identify himself.
As an amateur he likes the humorous society criticism, he likes the colours of Cezanne, the bravery and wit of Picasso, the madness of Bosch,
the way Modigliani seeing things also the landscapes from Laszlo Paal.
He continuously teaching himself. A few years ago he found an interest in the palette knife technic.
He has had exhibitions in Mexico, France, Romania.
His work can be found in lots of countries in Europe, in the USA, Russia, Cuba Mexico and Argentina.
