Kinga Jakabffy

Kinga Jakabffy (*1988) is an award-winning painter and illustrator. Kinga enjoys breaking down the layers of masks people wear to cover their true selves up. Her acrylic paintings often show fragmented bodies in bold color blocks. Her paintings echo a Mediterranean vibe, which unveils the softness and vulnerability of a person’s identity under the everyday mask. Most of her subjects are nude, which furthermore emphasizes the wish to portray the raw humanity of the characters. Kinga holds a master’s degree in media policies and global governance, and is currently working on her second book. After studies and work in Sevilla, Montreal and Budapest, she now lives and works in Vienna.
