life and work

"Triumph of Venus"
"Pure Love"

His mother is Szollos Erzsebet. His childhood was influenced by regular museum visits.

He was also influenced by the avant-garde and abstract art . Markus grew increasingly dissatisfied with his teachers and the restrictions imposed by communism in his native Hungary . He began his career as an artist with sculptures.

At the age of 14 he became known to an international television audience with his work. Around 1979 he began to work with traditional graphics including etching . He often used two or three copper plates and up to 100 colors for his screen prints. He mixed drypoint , aquatint and (soft-ground) etching techniques with graphite pencil. Csaba Markus is closely related to the Sfumato technique.

He started his oil painting with gray or sepia grisaille as a monochromatic version of the finished piece. When this was dry, he started adding different colored layers of glaze. Although the layers were more or less transparent, the result is a combination of colors that ultimately results in a nuance of colors, as if he had simply mixed the colors. Markus' painting uses small dots in several layers, there are more than 30 such layers around the eyes and mouth.
