Artist Biography / Artist Statement:

Ildikó Réka Fülöp – FIORÉ is a contemporary abstract painter. She grew up in a culturally rich family in rural Hungary and spent her early adult years in international fashion, appearing on the catwalks of Paris, Milan, Tokyo, and New York. Inspired by theatrical aesthetics and the harmony of color and form, she developed a unique visual language. Although art had long fascinated her, she only began painting at 49, discovering a powerful creative force within. She currently studies visual arts in Budapest to deepen her skills and vision.

Artist Statement:

I paint a world that doesn’t seek approval—it simply wants to exist. A space built from emotion, memory, dream, and instinct. I search for what cannot be said—but perhaps can be painted.
