After completing his music studies, Szabó decides to study painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest from 1954 to 1960. In 1965 Kazimir Romanovicz, the director of Gallery Lambert, invites him to come to Paris and to exhibit his art work in the gallery. Szabó has lived in Paris ever since.

 

His hyper-realistic compositions – fantasy worlds of people, animals and sceneries – depict a fantastic, colourful dream world. Book illustrations play a major part in his art as well. After having illustrated The Wild White Stallion by René Guilot, he discovers his interest in depicting animals. In the 1980s he is frequently interested in biblical topics taken from the New Testament. He says, “The human face created in the image of God is the focus of my interest as an artist.” Pieces of art he created in different years, such as Jour de Fète (1977), Le Grand Orchestre – Hommage à Béla Bartók (1986), Portrait imaginaire de Pablo Casals (1991) as well as his graphic series referring to Franz Liszt (1990s), illustrate his strong connection to music.
