László Gábor Belicza’s works are based on deep empathy and subtle sensitivity. He is one of the few artists who creates his series with an embrace of emotional involvement, and it is this strong involvement that gives his works a gentle yet powerful character. His simple stories are imbued with a subtlety as if he were not even present, yet he is mindful of the significance of minor events and acknowledges the intricate web of cause and effect, understanding that the world would be different if all the things did not take place as they did in that
specific moment. The weight of this fatality in everything is also imbued in his photographs.

In many cases, the characters in his stories are seen in organic unity with their environment, as figures at a distance. This does not, however, give a sense of detachment, but rather makes them seem familiar and close, due to the gentleness of the presentation. It is through this modest portraying that we become part of his
silent stories.

He started his professional career with „Whole”, a series that captures how his family is personally affected by grief. The portraits and situations captured with his unique sensitivity aims to explore the notion of absence and yet-presence, showing that it is necessary and possible to find one’s place in this reordered world.

In 2020, he started the creation of his series, „The Sky Above Kóspallag,” capturing the essence of a village nestled in the Börzsöny region. His subjective documentary photographs reveal how, for individuals immersed in close communion with their surroundings, the rhythm of their own lives is in perfect harmony with nature. Everyday life becomes orderly and joyful, beauty permeates not only moments but also human
relationships. As if everything was in place, and the mutual interaction of things composed the storyline. In this series, Belicza fearlessly explores diverse perspectives, alternating between expansive views and intimate close-ups. Whether capturing landscapes or interiors, occasionally zooming in on a minute detail, he illustrates the possibility of coexisting harmoniously with nature. This quality of living is also mirrored in the inhabitants’ affectionate gestures towards one another.

Mária’s Garden, his next series started in 2022 can be seen as a continuation of „The sky above Kóspallag”. In this case, too, he explores the relationship between nature and humankind.

His familial ties to farming and animal husbandry fostered a personal connection, with the labor of man in nature serving as a pivotal element in shaping his childhood experiences. Gábor, the protagonist of the series, created his permaculture garden in the courtyard of a primary school surrounded by panel buildings. This ,created small world’, in contrast to the largely exploitation-based modes of production that have prevailed to date, offers the possibility of sustainable development, creating a self-sustaining system in which there is room for everything and the lifeforms within it complement each other and develop willingly. The philosophical background is the basis for practice, of which observation and the resulting continuous work are a very important element. Belicza’s photographic attitude is fully coherent to present a subject of this type as a contemporary photography project. A compassionate approach grounded in participation and observation has consistently defined his work.
