She is a stage and costume designer painter coming from Transylvania. From 1950 she studied at the Painting Faculty of the Hungarian Art Institute in Kolozsvár from excellent teachers such as Béla Abódi Nagy and Gábor Miklóssy who were also the young student’s ideals as painters.
After graduating at the college, she returned to her hometown where she worked and created as the stage designer of the Local Theatre in Szatmárnémeti from 1957 until her retirement. Beside 250 stage and costume designs, she made hundreds of posters, theatre leaflets and programmes.
She debuted as a painter in1956 at Máramaros regional exhibition. Between 1965 and 1994 she took part in exhibitions organized yearly in Nagybánya, then in Szatmár county. She had her first individual exhibition in 1966 in Szatmárnémeti, following it she had individual exhibitions every 3 or 4 years in her hometown.
She went on study trips to many Eastern and Western European countries. She had numerous exhibitions in cities of Transylvania, on several occasions in Hungary, Germany and Holland. She is a versatile artist character. She is interested in land, as well as still life and portrait. She is an excellent portrait painter. In her works the postimpressionism of Cézanne and the mentality of Nagybánya School combine taking a unique shape. In her landscapes we can often find Szatmárnémeti, Maramures (Máramaros), Sub-Carpathia, Gheorgheni (Gyergyó), the Great Hungarian Plain, and the land of Körös Rivers.
In her pictures the definite structure, forms simplified into heavy blocks meet bold but delicate and serious colours. Richly layered colour washes overlapping each other in an airy way, generously loose brushwork.
Her sober realism, the weight of her great forms, delicate colour sensitivity, the psychological observation of her portraits give grounds for making her pictures familiar with a wider public. She has not finished painting yet.
In 2003 she moved to Gyula from Szatmárnémeti. She is celebrating her 80th birthday in 2012 which gives us an opportunity to become acquainted with her art in Békéscsaba as well. The pictures of Ágnes Szatmári can be found in private and public collections in abroad and Hungary alike: in Hungary, Germany, Sweden, Israel, Ukraine, Australia, in the Museum of Satu Mare, the Gallery of Kolozsvár (Cluj Napoca) and in collections of creative camps.
