Orosz became engrossed in the world of theater and stage design after graduating in 1975 from Budapest's University of Arts and Design.
This gave him a background in hiding what he draws in plain sight...until he wants you to see his work's true meaning.
István also often uses “Outis” or “Utisz” (no one) as a pseudonym.
He does this as a tribute to Odysseus, Homer's hero who fought the Cyclops and used this name as well.
Orosz imagines that his art is akin to an Odysseus gesture: some kind of attack upon the eye.
Perhaps that's why his attack on our own eyes makes the name perfect.
István's ability to hide these images is quite unique. We had no idea art with cylindrical mirrors existed, let alone appear to be as fantastic. If you'd like to see more of István's work, head over to his incredibly interactive website, or browse his Facebook page. They hold more incredible images than you can imagine.
