I'm Akacius Vegh from Hungary, Tata. I am a self-taught sculptor. I make carbon fiber composites sculptures mainly tree theme with a "modern impressionist" approach in a timeless-minimalist style.

The desire to create has been in me since childhood. In the beginning, I created on paper that things what interested me, but it was always a little bit feeling of lack. I felt that I had to make things tangible. Thanks to my parents – who are both ceramic artists – I received a great help quickly: that was the clay. This way I could shape imaginary things into real objects. 

I've loved the sport fairinged motorcycle since I was a child. In my street, there lived a motorcycle fairing repair master. When I was about 10 years old, I saw him a few times working on a fairing with a strange - like a "cotton swab" - material. One day, while me passing by his house, I found a piece of this material on the ground and brought it home. As a child, I found it very interesting, but I didn't know what was it and I asked my dad what it could be: he told me it was glass fiber. This was my first encounter with composite materials.

When I was about 15 years old, I got a small motorbike, which I made for a little tailfairing according to the master instructions. This was my first composite part.

Then I immersed myself in the world of composite materials and continued to move in this direction, both in my own business and in terms of self-expression. Following this path and learning more about composites technology (in Budapest Technology College, Donat Banki Faculty of Mechanical and Safety Engineering  and self-development at the same time), I reached the high-end level: the carbon fiber. I was completely captivated by the holographic shine as well as the timeless radiance of this material, and I immediately loved it.

This material is one of the main materials of modern sport vehicles and minimalist-luxury devices, which is a big challenge to produce and requires a great knowledge to handle this material, whether it is about designing or production. 

In addition to my passion for technology and carbon fiber, I really enjoy hiking in nature. While hiking, I am often amazed by the diversity of trees. Trees change with the seasons, it always gives a special feeling, and this is what I found in the "tree of life motif" which is reflected in my sculptures. 

The meeting of these lines gave me the inspiration to share these feelings with people. Close friends encouraged me to show my art to the general public.

I hope that when the people contemplate the sculptures when life is difficult, they will be given strength, or if everything is going well, they will be grateful.
