Description
“I love the sea, the grass, the tree, the animals, the animate and inanimate world. The material. Am I perhaps a narrow-minded materialist? No, the spirit is immaterial, but the material is the worldly manifestation of the spirit. When I worked as a dental technician, I had to cast metal and mold wax, plaster, and porcelain. I was not captivated by this narrow range of people. I studied Biology and drawing and also taught them; I was wandering around in the world, loved the colorful, transparent world of the Cuban seas, the whirling movement of the barracudas, the endless and timeless space of the Mongolian deserts, the chaotic and artistic magic of Indonesia, enjoyed skiing among the peaks of the Elbrus considered even by Reinhold Meissner one of the most amazing natural slopes. I savored exploring Vanuatu, Tonga, Tahiti, and Bora Bora and the friendly people there, their songs, sorrows, faith, their endless respect for their beloved islands, and enjoyed their unrestricted appetite for beauty, erotica, exuberance, and abundance. I was diving in seas and oceans where lemon, steel-blue, and redfish were flashing and gleaming with intensive colors never seen before in the tropical sunshine together with corals and plants. The impenetrable rain forests have presented all the variations of green. And the island of real peace: New Zealand. I love it. Although my homesickness drives me home to Hungary, being here, I do not know where my real home is, and I long to return there. I have traveled around the world and know: it is small, blue and fragile! This is what I see from the height of 11.000 meters. But through my microscope, I can sense the cavalcade of similar momentary magic as well. I am an earthling like so many, seemingly animate and inanimate creatures of God abounding with colors and shapes. As time passes by, I have experienced during my trips that all this is perishing. I do not want my children, my students, the explorers of the future not to be able to see this magic. I am presenting some fragments from the endless world and giving them to the spectators with love.”
These are Igor Jeno Prokop’s words about himself, his philosophy, and his understanding of the world.
