Biography

Antal Pazmandi

Ceramicist and sculptor. He was born in Mezokovesd on January 6, 1943. Antal Pazmandi’s works are reminiscent of the motifs of the history and traditional architecture of Debrecen. In the beginning, he formed his ceramic sculptures from abstract, geometric elements, then he designed compositions using a wealth of pop art motifs, while in the 90s, works of a postmodern tone were created in his workshop, combining different materials. His building decoration ceramics – which he usually makes together with Đulo Kovač – are characterized by the full use of motifs, a rich plastic effect, vivid colors and a free, imaginative arrangement of different stylistic elements.
