ARTIST STATEMENT
“I was born in 1982 in Budapest, Hungary. Originally I’m a
jewellery designer, later I discovered digital photo manipulation
and it became my passion and main activity. I like using ordinary
elements and by combining them, I can give them various stories,
personalities. I hope that the meanings of my pictures are never too
limited, are open in some way, each viewer can transform them into
a personal aspect. I’m not so good at talking about myself, I prefer
to let the pictures talk.”
PRACTICE
Her works are dream-like, ethereal, highly polished and skilfully combined. Surprisingly,
she shoots on only a 5 mega pixel point and shoot camera. Using then only Photoshop,
she works on a picture from a few hours to a couple of days long, and uses up to 50-100
different layers for one picture. Ban uses symbolism, angles, perspective, colour, texture
to express themes of childhood, solitude and consumerism among others.
