Artistic Excellence -
Igor Jeno Prokop is a Hungarian artist whose profound love for the natural world and its diverse manifestations permeates his work. Born in Budapest in 1953, Prokop currently resides and creates in Visegrad. His educational journey reflects his multifaceted interests and spans across various fields. After completing his studies in dental technology from 1971 to 1973, he embarked on a career as a teacher of art and biology from 1974 to 1978. Prokop continued to expand his knowledge by studying biology from 1981 to 1984, followed by philosophy in 1985-1986, film aesthetics in 1987-1988, and design management from 1990 to 1992. In 2001-2002, he also delved into the realm of environmental protection.
Throughout his illustrious career, Prokop has received numerous accolades for his artistic endeavors. Notably, he garnered Special Mentions at the Chianciano Biennale in 2009 and a Biennale Leonardo Award for drawings 2, along with the European Confederation of Art Critics Award for drawings 1, in 2011. In 2013, he earned a Special Mention for Excellence at the Chianciano Biennale, followed by a Biennale Leonardo Award for painting 3 at the same event in 2015. The year 2015 also brought him the International Confederation of Art Critics Award 3 at the London Art Biennale. Prokop's remarkable journey continued with the International Prize Andrea Mantegna in Mantova in 2017, and in 2018, he was honored with a Biennale Leonardo Award for painting 3 and the Oxford University Alumni Society Award 1 at the Chianciano Biennale.
Prokop's artistic philosophy is deeply rooted in his profound connection to the natural world and his ardent commitment to its preservation. Through his travels, he has borne witness to the beauty and fragility of the Earth, capturing and presenting it to his audience with immense love and passion. His artwork mirrors his reverence for the vibrant colors, shapes, and forms found within the seas, forests, and islands he has explored. Prokop firmly believes in the significance of safeguarding the magic of the natural world for future generations, which fuels his dedication to environmental protection and his desire to share fragments of this infinite world with others.
"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 had to cast metal and mould wax, plaster and porcelain. I was not captivated with this narrow range of people. I studied Biology and drawing and also taught them, I was wandering around in the world, loved the colourful, 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, enjoyed skiing among the peaks of the Elbrus considered even by Reinhold Meissner one of the most amazing natural slopes.
I savoured exploring Vanatau, Tonga, Tahiti and Bora Bora and the friendly people there, their songs, sorrows, faith, their endless respect for their beloved islands and enjoyed their unrestricted appetite for beauty, erotica, exuberance and abundance. I was diving in seas and oceans where lemon, steel-blue and red fish were flashing and gleaming with intensive colours never seen before in the tropical sunshine together with corals and plants. The impenetrable rain forests have presented all the variations of green. And the island of real peace: New Zealand. I love it. 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 travelled around the world and know: it is small, blue and fragile! This is what I see from the height of 11.000 metres. But through my microscope I can sense the cavalcade of similar momentary magic as well. I am an earthling like so many, seemingly animate and inanimate creatures of God abounding with colours and shapes. 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." These are Igor Jeno Prokop's words about himself, his philosophy and his understanding of the world.
