Exhibition of works by Pala Sarkozy (France) Automatic translate

My life was full of adventures, events and unpredictable twists of fate.

I love women.

I love my children. Since when I saw how they grow, I taught them a lot and, observing them, learned from them.

Today I perceive life as it is, but always with joy and philosophically, without illusions about myself and others. At 87, I understand that a curtain can fall at any moment!

Painting is what brings me real pleasure….

Biography: P. Sarkozy - a descendant of Hungarian aristocrats, a foreign legionnaire, a businessman whose life matches the plot of an exciting adventure film, the father of five children, one of whom was the president of France. Pal Istvan Erno Nagy Bocha Sarkozy (Sarkozy von Nagy Bocha, Sarkozy de Nagy Bocha) was born in Budapest in 1928. The nobility of the Sarkozy family was granted in 1628 by Emperor Ferdinand II, king of the Czech Republic and Hungary.

In 1944, the family moved from Hungary to Western Europe. After numerous adventures in Austria and a brief return to his homeland, young Sarkozy again came to Austria in 1948 and became a fighter of the French Foreign Legion. Not wanting to take part in the bloody war in Indochina, a few months later he was demobilized and went first to Marseille and then to Paris, where his affairs steadily went uphill. In 1950, he married a law student, the daughter of a famous doctor in a respectable 17th Paris district. Three boys were born to the spouses: Guillaume (1952), Nicolas (1955) and Francois (1957). This marriage was far from the only one, Pal now lives with his fourth wife, Iness, whom he married in 1970.

Years later, Pal Sarkozy succinctly described his first Parisian period: “It took me fifteen days to find work, one year to get married and ten years to become the father of three children and create my own business.” In 1960, he founded his advertising company, which later brought him millions. He has worked with the world’s most famous brands and fashion houses such as Dior and L’Oreal. But at the beginning of the new century, he left his business to finally devote himself to painting.
