About Me

Agnes Horvath

I’m Agnes Horvath, a Hungarian artist living in North England. My passion lies in creating 1:12 scale realistic miniatures. My miniature replicas are inspired by period furniture and traditional food from my favorite era, the 19th and 20th centuries.

 

With the development of PAC-PEN, I've been able to refine my own artistic journey and offer a helping hand to other artists, enabling them to craft their miniatures with a level of precision and detail that was previously hard to achieve.

    Art has always been a passion of mine. From a young age, I was drawn to drawing and began creating art as soon as I could hold a pencil. I had the privilege of studying drawing under the tutelage of the renowned Hungarian graphic artist Sandor Szerdahelyi. In the early '90s, I started experimenting with pottery clay and created my first ceramics. In 2016, after moving to England, I discovered polymer clay and was immediately captivated by its versatility and potential. This new medium added a fresh dimension to my artistic repertoire. 

​

I have a diverse background in photography, history, and anthropology. I used to work as a cataloguer/researcher in an auction house in Budapest before I left Hungary. This is where I developed a deep appreciation for the past and its treasures. I learned how much we can learn from the past, from the events that shaped our history, from the objects that reflected our culture, from the technology that changed our lives.

​

This is why I love every aspect of making miniatures, from the research to the photography. I want to preserve the past and share it with the future by making replicas of vintage (antique or retro) everyday home objects and traditional foods in miniature size. I believe that these miniatures are not just beautiful and realistic, but also educational and meaningful. 

Historical accuracy is paramount in my work, so I craft my pieces using materials that would have been used in their full-sized counterparts.

I am constantly inspired by the world around me and the history that has shaped it. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my passion with others and to help preserve our heritage for future generations.
