Csaba Markus was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1953. Growing up in a city over 2000 years rich in history and abundant in artistic influences, Csaba became infatuated with the arts at a very young age.
Csaba Markus began his artistic career as a sculptor under the guidance of the highly acclaimed Hungarian academic, Ferenc Mohacsi Regos. Recognized as a talented artist by his teachers and public alike, Csaba and his work made their first public appearance on international public television when he was 14 years of age.
Csaba Markus became increasingly frustrated with teachers and the confines of the communist system. He desperately sought an environment that would nurture growth and artistic freedom, In 1978, Csaba's "internal revolution" took him to the "New World". Passionate and determined, Csaba settled in Mission Viejo, California, and continued his quest to become a self-supporting artist, He experimented with many techniques and various media: hand made papers, metal sculpture, ceramics, etchings, silk screen, and even animation. It is this diversity and flexibility that has kept his work fresh through the years.
