Biography
The backgrounds of Pal's paintings are simple and monochrome, allowing the color and body in the foreground to be more powerful. His unique technique allows him to craft a glow that transcends the transparency of the beeswax. It is often reminiscent of perhaps a candle burning behind the painting. Wax and oil paint don't mix, creating tension in the image. The surface, background, colors and abstract forms remain in constant dialogue with each other and the viewer. This tension creates the illusion of moving space. The viewer is literally drawn into the unconscious sensuality of the surface - into the beauty of this movement.
