Dalma Göncz is a Hungarian contemporary visual artist based between Budapest and London. She studied Fine Art at the Royal College of Art in London and will continue her studies in MA Sculpture at the RCA.
Her multidisciplinary practice moves between painting, sculpture and traditional craft techniques, exploring the interconnectedness of nature, memory and human presence. Her recent works combine painting with intricate bead embroidery and recycled materials, transforming slow, repetitive handwork into a contemporary visual language.
Göncz’s work has been presented in a growing number of international exhibitions, with several exhibitions and projects in London in 2026, including during London Design Festival. Her work has also received international recognition through the Liberty Art Award. Drawing on natural forms, imagined landscapes and the heritage of traditional handcraft, her practice examines the relationship between the natural and the human-made, while questioning how material, memory and time can remain visible in an increasingly accelerated world.
Interconnectedness explores the relationship between nature, memory and human presence. Rooted in visual memories of the Hungarian landscape, the series transforms natural forms into imagined, abstract environments. I combine painting with thousands of individually applied glass beads, bringing the language of traditional handcraft into contemporary fine art. The repetitive process becomes a form of drawing and meditation, preserving the visibility of time and human touch. As light and the viewer’s position change, the surfaces continuously transform. Through material, repetition and landscape, the works reflect on our inseparable connection to nature and the fragile balance between the natural and human-made world.
