I am Sz. Szabó Júlia (Szalma Julia), a Hungarian visual artist based in Budapest. My work brings figurative and abstract forms together through collage and painting. Fragments of faces, bodies, colours and textures become new figures, inviting different readings of identity and transformation.

These works form part of my solo exhibition, Fragmented Reality / Töredezett valóság, at Dávid Gallery in Budapest, on view until 22 November 2026. The exhibition brings together 18 collages and six paintings.
