"Art is my life, art is why I still exist."
"István Drozsnyik (1951) is a visual artist, performer and poet-photographer, screenwriter, film director and so much more - his unheard-of impulsive artistic activity is an autonomous, community-based artistic activity, unique in Hungarian art, due to its confusingly multifaceted and complex complexity. At the same time, it is also an art phenomenon that is integrative, sensitively and authentically reflective of the challenges of the age, summative and effective." – Tibor Wehner, art historian
