I feel that a real workshop is starting to emerge, where we complement each other well. Everyone develops with his or her own intellectual and physical methods. Art is designed to hold a mirror in front of us, in the world we live in. I would like it if the mirror I hold up would show not a distorted, but clear picture of everything, the way I see it. I give myself fully to everything I make. Those who are open enough to this kind of realism can esily read this in my pictures. I am only interested in pure, honest things, I can not tolerate anything fake.” László Farkas, 2015, baja 32
