András Rung, born in 1978, is a Budapest-based artist whose work reflects a deep passion for cultural exploration and human connection. With a PhD in linguistics, Rung brings a unique perspective to his art, blending structural precision with emotional depth. His fascination with Japan runs through his creative work, fueled by extensive travels across Asia and around the world. Beyond the canvas, Rung is a dedicated cook, an avid lover of literature, and a caretaker of plants, drawing inspiration from the small, intimate details of everyday life. His art, much like his life, is a celebration of people and stories, and the rhythms that connect us across cultures and continents.
