Hungarian ceramic artist whose work consistently centers on the interpretation of error. Rather than treating mistakes as deviations to be corrected, he approaches them as meaningful events, integral elements that shape both form and narrative. A recurring theme in his practice is the unreliability of memory, particularly as it relates to personal experience. These fragmented recollections surface in his objects as distortions, shifts, and subtle tensions, suggesting that what we remember is never entirely fixed, but continuously reconstructed.

His work exists in a fluid space between design and fine art, where functional logic and expressive intent intersect. While traditional design often begins with a defined problem and moves toward resolution, Szabó reverses this trajectory. He builds from the ground up, allowing process to guide outcome rather than imposing predetermined solutions. This openness creates a framework in which coincidence, imperfection, and material behavior can

actively participate in the making.

Whether engaging with the inherent unpredictability of high-temperature wood firing or the immediacy of expressive trimming, Szabó’s practice embraces uncertainty as a generative force. The kiln, with its uncontrollable variables, becomes a collaborator rather than a tool; the surface records not only intention but also chance. Through this approach, making becomes an act of exploration, one of playing, discovering and forming unexpected connections. His works do not resolve into singular meanings but remain open, inviting reflection on process, memory, and the quiet intelligence of imperfection.
