Raffay, Dávid

I was born in Budapest in 1973. I have wanted to be a sculptor since I was 3. My mother is Korényi Dalma, my father is Raffay Béla, both of them are sculptors, my step-father is painter and graphic artist Somogyi Győző. I took my final exam in the Secondary School of Fine and Applied Arts in 1991, my master was sculptor Meszlényi János. The same year I was accepted to the College of Fine Arts, where sculptor Kő Pál became my Master. I graduated in 1996.My diploma work was a sculpture: Tinódi Lantos Sebestyén on Horseback (140x140x200cm). From 1996 to 1998 I took part in tertiary education as a postgraduate. I am a happy father of five. We live on my profession, sculpture.
