Janos Kujbus
The characters in my paintings are actors captured in one moment of a fictional story. I leave the other scenes to the imagination of each observer.
János Kujbus, a contemporary Hungarian painter, distinguishes himself through his figurative artworks in the modern pop art style, captivating audiences not only with their substantial size, often exceeding two meters, but also with the distinctive qualities of form and content they embody.
Within the expansive canvases, the narratives unfold, portraying the everyday stories of today's individuals navigating the complexities of life in a chaotic world, seeking fulfillment and purpose. Kujbus's paintings are crafted to complement modern interiors, injecting them with originality, uniqueness, and charm.
His artistic contributions have garnered extensive recognition, with professional articles about his work featured in various prestigious art magazines. Notably, two of Kujbus's paintings, "Waiting" and "Selfie," in digital form, have been selected by NASA for inclusion in the Lunar Codex Cultural Heritage of Humanity project, symbolizing the global significance of his art.
János Kujbus has curated 15 solo exhibitions and participated in over 40 group exhibitions, showcasing his works not only in Hungary but also in Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Romania, and the United States. Through his prolific career, he continues to leave an indelible mark on the contemporary art scene, both nationally and internationally.

Life is an eternal and never-ending cycle of an infinite number of stories of each of us.
I transform some of these stories, the essence of which is common to many people, into my paintings. They are stories about everyday life, stories about friendships, relationships and love, children and family, desires and fantasies, work and career, lifestyle...
You can read my version of the story under each painting.
But you can see something different or different stories there. Because each painting hides many more stories than you see at first glance. In your imagination, you can then create more and more versions of the stories of the characters on the screen. Thanks to them, the painting in your interior will perhaps live several parallel lives, you will always find something new in it and it will be even more interesting.
Many paintings have a philosophical or ethical message embedded in them, ideas that are sometimes worth thinking about.

We are all different, we have our own specific qualities and characteristics that are specific to us.
The paintings in this series are a probe into the psyche of different individuals. They give us the opportunity to reflect on ourselves, our nature, our way of life, to get to know ourselves, to reveal what is hidden in us and what potential we have.
Maybe they will help someone to self-reflect and be an inspiration.

Paintings by Janos Kujbus will be brought to the Moon by NASA
NASA will send scientific instruments to the Moon, over 2022 to 2025. Along with NASA instruments, these missions will carry commercial payloads, including the time capsules that make up The Lunar Codex.
The Codex will be the first significant placement of contemporary arts on the Moon in 50+ years. While focused on visual art, the Lunar Codex also includes a substantial collection of contemporary books, stories, poetry, essays, music, films, and more.
As an arts and culture project, the Lunar Codex has been called the most expansive, international, and diverse collection of contemporary culture launched to the Moon. A documentary being filmed about the Lunar Codex is calling it a time machine from today to the future - and from the future to today.
At its essence, the Lunar Codex is a time capsule, a message-in-a-bottle to future generations.
János Kubus is the first contemporary artist from Hungary whose artworks will be sent to the Moon.
