Vera Makina Csaszar

By LatAm ARTE

I was born in Budapest, Hungary. I studied at the Higher School of Arts and Crafts (graphic arts section). As a fine artist, I use graphite and acrylic mediums, crossing realist and impressionist styles to capture the essence and spirit of my subjects. And it is in wildlife where I find this shock most evident: in the eyes of what is truly wild. I am also a commercial artist specializing in vector illustration. As a freelancer, I have the flexibility to create work of many varied themes and styles. I have worked as a graphic artist for the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and as a designer at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
