Sarolta Bán

About

Sarolta Bán is a Hungarian contemporary artist born in 1982 in Budapest, where she continues to live and work. Originally trained as a jewellery designer, she transitioned to digital photo manipulation around 2007 after experimenting with editing photos from her small digital camera, finding it a fun and limitless creative outlet similar to compounding materials in jewellery making. Self-taught, she combines ordinary elements into surreal compositions using up to 100 layers in software, creating open-ended narratives that invite personal interpretation, often featuring edgy, high-contrast imagery with strong lighting.
