I am Szalma Júlia, working as Sz. Szabó Júlia, a visual artist based in Budapest. In my collages, fragments of faces, bodies and imagery form unexpected figures, human connections and stories. Collage is a visual language in its own right. I also combine it with painting: selected collages are digitised, printed on canvas, then developed with oil paint and gold leaf.

My solo exhibition, Fragmented Reality, presents 18 collages and six paintings at Dávid Gallery, Budapest, until 22 November 2026.
