Képtelen vagyok művészetet csinálni, mivel folyamatosan csak keresek. Keresni, megtalálni és végül továbblépni. Az új munkáim kritizálják a korábbiakat, azok a még korábbiakat és ez végtelen. Arra vágyom, hogy spontán legyek amennyire csak lehet, ezért sokszor magam ellen kell dolgozom, vagy szándékommal szemben reagálni helyzetekre. Élvezettel és könnyen semmisítem meg képeimet, akár egész sorozatokat is, hogy majd ezeket átfestve, felhasználva születhessenek új dolgok. Sosem a fenségest festem, témáimnak egyszerűen csak étvágyat kell adnia a munkához. Szeretem a megfogható, banális dolgokat, melyek a vászonra kerülve szürreálisnak, furcsának hatnak. Pár évvel ezelőtt már dolgoztam egy futballszurkolós sorozaton. Nem láttam korábban festményt, ami foci ultrákat ábrázolt volna, és ez fontos volt – olyat akartam festeni, amit azelőtt nem láttam. Több mindent sűrítettem ezekbe a képekbe, huligánok, biztonsági emberek, görögtüzek, kommunista és náci zászlók. Bár a politika igen, a festménynek adott direkt politikai értelmezést nem foglalkoztat, egyszerűen, mert a természetemből kifolyólag nem akarok mindentudónak tűnni. 2011 körül fáradt lettem mindattól, amit addig és akkor csináltam. Valahogy kimerültem tőle. Újjá akartam születni. A kollázsok felé fordultam, és majd 2 évig csak kollázzsal foglalkoztam. Több figurális olajképemet megsemmisítettem, szétvágtam majd a kollázsokba illesztettem. Ez energiát adott. Minden, ami energiát ad az nagyon fontos. A kollázsok nyersességét pozitív kvalitásnak tartom, mint ahogy az ösztönösséget és az érzékenységet is. A legfontosabb számomra a szenvedély, hinni a csodában, ami mindig tovább repít.

Sunt incapabil să fac artă deoarece mai tot timpul caut. Să cauți, să găsești ceea ce ai căutat și să mergi mai departe. Lucrările mele mai noi sunt critica celor anterioare, acelea pe cele anterioare lor și așa mai departe. Îmi doresc să fiu cît mai spontan cu putință, de aceea de multe ori lucrez împotriva mea sau reacționez la situații la care de fapt nu aș vrea. Îmi distrug cu ușurință și plăcere, chiar și serii întregi ca după ce le-am repictat, le-am refolosit să se nască lucrări noi. Nu pictez niciodată sublimul: temele sunt pentru mine un fel de nutriție. Îmi plac lucrurile concrete și banale care au un efect suprarealist și straniu dacă apar pe pînză. Acum cîțiva ani am lucrat la o serie de pînze care prezintă microbiști. Înainte de asta nu am văzut tablou care să prezinte ultrași și asta mi se pare important – aș fi vrut să pictez ceea ce n-am văzut înainte. Am comprimat mai multe aspecte în tablourile astea: huligani, bodygarzi, focuri bengalice, drapeluri naziste. Deși politica mă interesează, interpretarea nemijlocit politică cu atît mai puțin, pur și simplu pentru că nu vrea să par atotștiutor. În jurul anului 2o11 am obosit de cele ce le-am făcut pînă atunci și chiar la momentul respectiv. Am secat cumva. Am vrut să renasc. Mi-am întors privirea spre colaje și timp de aproape doi ani m-am ocupat exclusiv cu colaje. Mi-am distrus mai multe tablouri figurative vopsite în ulei, le-am tăiat și le-am îmbinat în colaje. Asta mi-a dat energie. Tot ce dă energie e cît se poate de important. Cred că e importantă brutalitatea colajelor, ca și instinctualitatea și sensibilitatea lor. Cel mai important mi se pare pasiunea, să crezi în miracolul care te împinge mai departe orice-ar fi. Krisztián Sándor


„I can’t make art, since I’m always searching. Searching and finding then finally leaving. My newest works criticizing my previous, which is endless. I had a desire to be as spontaneous as possible,due to this I often work and react against myself. It fascinate me destroying my paintings and easily eliminate hole series, repaint or cut apart than rebuild again. I don’t paint the sublime, my themes should give me an appetite for painting. I like banal, tangible objects which on the surface seems strange and surreal. Many years ago I got involved representing football ultras. I never saw a painting of football ultras. That’s important too, that i wanted to paint what i hadn’t seen. I have a lot of stuff in those paintings, hooligans, guards, fireworks, communist and Nazi flags. I’m not that interested in a direct political interpretation, although I'm interested politics but my temperament doesn’t want to be omniscient. At 2011 I was tired of what I had been doing or had done. I was somehow exhausted with it. I wanted to reborn. I lean towards to make collages. Almost 2 years i only dealt with collage, I have destroyed many of figurative paintings and fitted into the collages. It gave me energy, anything that gives me energy is important. I regarded the crudeness of that collage as a positive quality, meanwhile it needed instincts and sensitivity. The most important thing only the passion. I want to believe in magic and miracles. I always want to be moved.” Krisztián Sándor
