Ever wonder where art meets the spirit of Lake Balaton in Budapest? That place is the Karinthy Szalon. This gallery isn’t just a space. It’s a portal. It brings the essence of Hungary’s beloved lake to the heart of the city.
The Karinthy Szalon stands at 1111 Budapest, Karinthy Frigyes út 22. Its doors are open Monday to Friday. You can visit between 10:00 and 16:00. Feel free to call them at +36 1-209-3706.
Now let’s talk about art and Balaton. Imagine painter Ábel Péterfy. Since childhood he lived by Balaton’s shores. He takes you on a fine art trip around Lake Balaton. This is not just art. It’s a journey. Péterfy consciously embraces a classic scenic journey. Like old landscape painters he strolls the lakeside with his sketchbook. Later he processes these subjects in his studio.
His art has unique inspiration. Surfing inspires him. Also drones give novel perspectives. He captures the lake and sky’s sudden changes from the water’s middle. Drones inspire him to paint sailors. He paints an icy Lake Balaton from a bird’s eye view. This is Balaton as you’ve never seen it.
But there is always something new. For example the Caffart Fine Arts Association exhibition. It was held from February 25 to March 20, 2025. The opening took place on February 25 at 18:00.
