Ádám DÓRA was born in 1993, Vác (Hungary). He lives and works in Budapest. He graduated at Hungarian University of Fine Arts in Painting (MA) in 2017. From 2019 to 2020 he was a Mentee in the Budapest Art Mentor Program. The main body of his work - compromised mainly of oil on canvas pieces - is developed serially. These pictures are often the interlaced consequences of each other. He plays with the repetition and variation of recurring elements. The apparition of these motifs in new contexts creates a rich visual language that potentially has many interpretations. During his painterly practices of contemplation, he is searching for answers to the questions that are within the domain of painting, while reflecting on our present visual culture. Hist first notable solo show called ‘Chunky Steps’ at Nagyházi Contemporary, Budapest (HU) was organized in 2021. He has participated in several group and duo exhibitions such as ‘Explorers 3.0’ at Budapest Projekt Gallery(HU), Esterhazy Art Award Short List 2021 at Ludwig Museum, Budapest (HU), ’Overlaps’ with Rita Koszorús at Hegyvidék Gallery, Budapest (HU), INSTA group show at Nick Gallery, Pécs (HU) and ‘Summer Wine’ at Einspach Fine Art & Photography Gallery Budapest (HU).

He was a Shortlisted at Kepesita Collection Art Award 2020 (HU), Esterházy Art Award 2021(HU) and Strabag Artaward International 2022, 2023.(AT).
