Today, between 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM, we warmly welcome all visitors to our temporarily opening pop-up gallery and artwork shop before the renovation begins. 🙂
Discover contemporary artworks, emerging independent artists, and the evolving atmosphere of Start Gallery Budapest in an intimate early-stage exhibition space.
Welcome everyone to the website of perhaps the newest gallery in the city — and maybe even the country. 😀
This week, Start Gallery will be open on Wednesday and Thursday between 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM. If you happen to pass by earlier, feel free to knock — I’ll most likely be painting an exciting new work in the back room, currently titled Salon, and I’ll happily let you in to take a look around. 🙂
On Friday, the gallery will be open from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM I’ll be hosting the Random Sketchclub, an open community drawing session where anyone is welcome to join casually and create together.
Participation is free, and I provide all materials — sketchbooks, paints, markers, and more. My only request is that the tools are used with care and attention. I’ll gladly explain how to handle everything properly so the materials can continue to serve many future drawings and contemporary art experiments. 🙂
Next week, the gallery will definitely be open Wednesday and Thursday from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, as planned throughout the month. If I manage to open on Mondays as well, I’ll always announce it here.
The gallery will most likely remain closed on Tuesdays for the rest of the year.
Weekend visits are possible by prior arrangement. I’m always happy to personally show visitors the gallery’s growing collection of approximately 300–500 contemporary artworks by independent artists.

Thank you,

We have finally arrived here too.
We started organizing this exhibition together with Bea Tóth years ago. She was the very first artist whose drawings made me feel that I wanted to create exhibitions. Until now, I thought that moment happened around ten years ago—but it turns out it was probably five or six.
What I deeply love about Bea’s contemporary artworks is that they are surreal, uncomfortable, and yet incredibly delicate and emotionally fragile at the same time. I love how she balances on the edge of harmony and disharmony like a true aerial acrobat.
And I especially love that beauty in her work is never beautiful in an easy or comfortable way.
Through her paintings, she tells stories—sometimes imagined, sometimes lived—and one of her greatest strengths is the way she leaves the viewer unsettled, full of questions, long after the encounter.
As both a painter and now a gallerist, I consume enormous amounts of contemporary art, and I genuinely believe Bea’s works are internationally unique in their impossible, dreamlike visual language.
She is entirely self-taught. For years she sat down to draw every single day, and she still paints and draws regularly—freely, independently, and for herself.
More and more, I feel that there are countless hidden talents creating quietly around us, like underground streams beneath the surface. I sincerely hope I can help them receive the attention they deserve, and connect them with people who can love their works as passionately as I do.
So come and see the paintings.
In the meantime, here’s a small preview of Beatrix Tóth’s surreal and emotionally charged contemporary artworks:
