Mária Geszler began making of porcelain statues in the last wo decades in Japan, in Tajimi Cityben (Gifu Prefect). Musical instruments that remind us of human figures, which never make a sound in reality, but with their form, colour and poetry create amazing inner harmony.

The material on display also includes documents by her family.

‘I would like to show one work from every artistic period of mine from, 'sequences' the past 45 years. The first decade of my career was determined by summers spent with designs and working on the pottery wheel. With the development of my technique and also after the International Ceramics Studio started in Kecskemét, I began working with porcelain, 'white gold'. I have expressed my ideas and emotions through this material.’
