„Meine Augen wurden trübe,
Fernes, mütterliches Land,
Ach! sie bleiben dir voll Liebe,
Und voll Sehnsucht zugewandt!“ 

NOVALIS, Schriften

„La vie va se perdre dans la mort, les fleuves dans la mer et le connu dans l'inconnu. La connaissance est l'accès de l'inconnu. Le non-sens est l'aboutissement de chaque sens possible.“ 

 Georges BATAILLE in L'Expérience Intérieure

Arpad Polgar was born in Geneva, Switzerland and works between Bern and Geneva. His works include analog and digital photography as well as mixed media.

Nature, landscape and abstract textures were the incipits but are still in the focal point. Numerous influences throughout modern and contemporary art, but also Japanese Edo paintings have inspired his creations. Explorations on the fringes of photography and scan art caracterize the works of the last decade.

His style has slowly evolved from straight photography to multiple exposures and to more complex, layered compositions, where abstract and figurative melt into one another creating artificial landscapes or herbariums, opening channels to the viewers subjectivity.

Arpad Polgar has participated in collective and individual expositions since 2001 in Geneva, Zurich, Budapest, Saanen. He is currently represented by gallery ArtBongard in Geneva.
