Mihaly Flandorffer Peniche
Mihaly Flandorffer Peniche currently resides in Madrid, Spain. His work has been featured at FAIM 07, La Castellana, Instituto Rural de Arte, and Galería San Vicente,among others. His art is based on the idea that the artist can implement the idea of "Modern Minimalism" by creating the greatest number of possible parallel realities of a same event or object, and arises from the need a man has to create new things. Every day, it is more difficult to compete against technology (for example the animations by computer, the definition of a digital camera, or the quality of impression), therefore the competition requires new tools to maximize human potential.
