István Máriás AKA Horror Pista

The precision of a serial-killer

István Máriás AKA Horror Pista, painter

Pista Horror designs and executes his works with the precision of a serial-killer; he depicts his characters in an ill-omened, futuristic environment with black humour. Due to his exceptional sensitivity, fine cynicism, and precisely executed compositions, his works are easy to identify.
