Ildikó Bereczky learned the joy of drawing from Dezső Gál during her school years, and after almost twenty years she became a member of the Kispest Artists’ Circle led by him.
From 1970 to 1990 she worked as a cartographer at the Cartographic Society, where she obtained a diploma as a retoucher and then as a cartographic technician. At the Hungarian National Museum she drew weapons, skeletons and rocks, which gave her a lot of practice in the technique of dot patterns. Years later she missed drawing maps, which required great precision and patience, and so she started drawing again, now for her own pleasure. She has been a member of the Helikon Cultural Association in Kispest since 2002 and has participated in numerous exhibitions in Hungary and abroad.

About her art:

“Her art is characterized by a fine art of drawing. Her sensitive, often selective approach to drawing is achieved through a very well thought-out and balanced creative method. The subject of her idiosyncratic pictures is the drawing of human-like animals and animal-like people, whereby she approaches the former one more formally and the latter more in terms of content. Her works radiate a certain resigned irony, and when we look at them we have the feeling that we are smiling and at the same time immediately interpreting the drawing. The elements of her drawings are historicizing, but what she has to say is very contemporary and uptodate. Her creatures do not act, or not much, they are rather static drawings. In this sense, they make us think, in a kind of surrealist sense. Her works are technically sophisticated, she doesn’t use many materials, tools, scales, but what she does and uses, she does very economically, organically ” Feledy Balázs Képírók-Kiállításmegnyitó, 2006.
