My name is Kinga Jakabffy. At age 4 I was fascinated by the stories simple figure lines could tell. At age 29 I had my master's degree in communication sciences and many years experience in advertising. I decided to quit my job and start doing what I actually wanted to do. Since 2018 I paint. Mostly tension. Tension and in-betweens. I thrive off the moment before something becomes. For example, a soap bubble, that is mesmerisingly colourful. It grows with every breath until it bursts at its peak. Immediately upon bursting, the excitement and anticipation drop flat. How unfortunate. This example is true for everything that bothers me. A good flirt. Anger and softness. Leather and silk. Political agendas and individual freedom.
I'm an aries, scorpio rising and pisces moon. I like working late at night and blasting music in my headphones. I am playful, I like witty banter, I like to nerd out and I get bored very easily. I crave routine but can't maintain it. I switch between hyperfocus and total mental blurr on an hourly basis. I need to exhaust my body physically multiple times per week in order to be calm mentally. I like to go deep with people, but I am extremely picky who gets my attention. There is constant tension in everything I am and everything I do. I thrive on that edge and I enjoy taking people along on that ride with me. I need you to be courageous and a little bit wild in order to enter this world that has been opened for you. Welcome.
I tend to speak my mind very honestly and oftentimes rudely. I ask questions nobody else wants to say out loud. I ask from a place of genuine interest but I come to learn that most people answer to deflect, to hide, to not see, to keep their ego intact. I have never understood why, what is there to lose if you look at your own flaws? Will you crumble or fly? I am impulsive and rich. I came out at 29. My family originates from Armenia, settled in Hungary which became Romania after WW1, and then had their livelihoods stripped again when communism took over. My family has been fleeing and reestablishing elsewhere since generations. The lack of foundation and roots and the prohibition to speak their minds has left me no choice but to take it upon me to speak my mind as much, as boldly and loudly as I am able to in order to push against everything I believe is not fair. This is it. Born in fire. Rising in color.
