about me
I was born in Mohács, a small town in southern Hungary, where I spent my childhood. After graduating from the Kisfaludy Károly High School, I moved to Budapest and studied engineering at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). During this time, I developed not only a deep understanding of technical systems but also a growing fascination with art and creative expression.
After completing my studies, I moved to Germany and worked for many years as an airport planner, contributing to major projects in Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Munich, Baden-Baden and internationally. Despite a successful technical career, art remained my true passion.
In 2013, I decided to follow my inner calling and devote myself to art. I undertook intensive artistic training at the Art Academy of Bad Reichenhall and the Academy of Fine Arts in Kolbermoor. A particularly formative experience was my time as a master student under Professor Markus Lüpertz. His mentorship helped me develop my own visual language and encouraged my artistic freedom.
My work spans painting, sculpture, and mixed media. I use materials such as acrylic, oil, textiles, newspaper, metal, and glass—working through processes of layering, transformation, and deliberate destruction. My Hungarian roots, memories, experiences, and travels—from New York to Provence—inspire my art, along with historical themes and social questions.
It is a long way we have to go, since what we have learned and experienced are basic requirements for being an artist, but to be creative we have to start over and over again, through the experience aside and take risks. The more we know, the harder it is to really let go.

This photo shows artist Gábor Richter together with Professor Markus Lüpertz in 2016 in Kolbermoor, Germany. At the time, Richter was a master student at the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts Kolbermoor, where Lüpertz – a central figure in postwar German art – was teaching.
The image captures a moment of closeness, artistic exchange, and mutual respect. For Gábor Richter, this period marked a pivotal chapter in his journey: the beginning of his professional life as a freelance artist, guided and inspired by one of the most influential painters, sculptors, and thinkers of our time.
With Alexander Solotzew – http://www.solotzew.com/
This photo was taken in 2014 and shows me together with the artist Alexander Solotzew, who was my first art teacher. It was a meaningful moment—not only because of our long-standing friendship, but also because of the deep respect I have for him as both a person and an artist.
Alexander Solotzew was the first to guide and encourage me on my artistic path. From him, I learned not only technical foundations, but also how to feel color, embrace expression, and explore compositional freedom.
The painting in the background is one of his works and reflects his vivid, dynamic style—something that fascinated me from the very beginning. Our warm interaction in the photo captures the sense of connection we share to this day: a bond of artistic respect, gratitude, and genuine friendship.

The image reflects both the formal recognition of Richter’s artistic development and the respectful bond between student and mentor. The handshake symbolizes the successful completion of an intense and formative period of study, during which Richter refined his unique visual language under Lüpertz’s guidance.
Surrounded by fellow artists and guests, the atmosphere is one of celebration, achievement, and the continuation of artistic legacy.
