Sára Sebestyén

photographer

The photographs of Sára Sebestyén are organically fitting into the Hungarian constructivist tradition. Her images are composed of architectural details and everyday sights that are framed by precision and soft harmony. The playfulness of colors, forms and lights meets the rigid rules of geometry, oftentimes the artist uses the opposites as basic building blocks while each composition hides something unexpected. In her work the aesthetically perfect form is found in artistic creation, which can be completely free of concrete content, as has always been practiced in music. Sára Sebestyén shows a clear edge in the truest sense of the word, at the same time she reflects on life in her photographs. If one had to describe Sebestyén’s photographic art by a few keywords perhaps the following words would make for the best candidates: clear structure and colors, determined yet sensual lines and fields, classical and new proportions, edges that separate yet connect spaces, and a surprise.
