Orsi was born in Budapest (Hungary) in 1972. A year after receiving her Master’s degree in graphic arts and screen printing at the University of Fine Arts - Hungary’s leading art university - she left Budapest and spent 10 years traveling, living and working abroad before settling down in the UK. She lived in Romania, Greece and Switzerland, with two short breaks in Thebes, Egypt where she did drawings and studies for one of the Hungarian excavations run by ELTE University, Budapest.  She has exhibited with galleries and at major art shows in London, Zurich and Budapest. Her work can be found in public collections in Hungary and in private collections all around the world.2014 has brought two major solo shows in London: An invitation to the Hungarian Cultural Centre in London and another as a result of a successful proposal to the Riverside Gallery - Richmond. Her work is inspired by the visual legacy of the Hungarian Avantgarde: works heavily laden with symbolism, irony and drama. During my university years she turned from pure monochrome to- wards the use of colours and later chose oil and acrylic paint as her preferred medium. As she has never been able to abandon her earlier interest in the more graphical approach, line drawing still has an important role in her work.The ever-changing environment has had a great impact on her life and her way of looking at things. Although her pictures usually involve ‘close ups’ of her surroundings, they often carry quite an abstract and symbolic meaning that occurred to her during the process of painting. She gives some depth to her virtual snapshots by applying a private freedom upon my subject, creating a special figuralism. As she has been contemplating on how little we appreciate the everyday things that are around us; her ‘unusual’ interpretations of the mundane increasingly present themselves in her pictures.
