Ferenc Máhr
painter and sculptor


I was born in Budapest in 1957, but I have lived in Csákberény since my childhood. I grew up in a family of ten and had a wonderful childhood.
Raised in faith and love, surrounded by this beautiful landscape, I was filled for a lifetime with wonders—
so many that even if I tried to paint or sculpt just a small part of them, three lifetimes would not be enough.
I have participated in various art camps, but with few exceptions, all I truly learned was that inner drive and a life close to nature are far more important to me than anything else. I can no longer imagine my life without paintings and sculptures.
Materials are merely tools—I feel that I still have so much to create from stone and on canvas, for my own joy and for the joy of others, if God wills it.

Sculptures
Count Fülöp Merán
A public statue carved from Süttő limestone.

On October 8, 1995, the statue of Count Fülöp Merán, descended from the Habsburg family, was unveiled. It stands on the site of the former Merán Castle. The castle could have been a jewel of this beautifully situated village, as it survived the war with only a single shot, but the subsequent communist era allowed the castle to be plundered and dismantled. This is Ferenc Máhr’s first public sculpture, which the artist began working on using a single chisel made from a file... He wrestled with the massive Süttő limestone block for eight months until it was completed. At the unveiling, the family received the monument with deep emotion.

The inscription on the statue::
"His life was to do good; His joy was to fulfill his duty.
For the two priests
Public sculpture made of Süttő limestone.

This monument, erected in memory of the two priests, was unveiled on July 11, 1999. For their brave commitment to the ideals of the 1848-49 Hungarian War of Independence, the two close friends— János Szikszai, a 50-year-old Reformed pastor, and Antal Mansbart, a 27-year-old Catholic parish priest— were taken away and executed by shooting in Nagyigmánd. Both served in Csákberény.
