Istvan Orosz was born in Hungary in 1951. He was trained as a graphic designer at the University of Arts and Design in Budapest. After graduation in 1975, he became involved with theatre, as a stage designer, (sometimes as an actor as well) and animated film. Later when Poster Art came to the center of his interest, he began to design theatre, movie and exhibition posters. Under the influence of Eastern-European democratic changes he drew some political posters as well.

Istvan likes to use visual paradox and illusionistic approaches while following traditional printing techniques such as woodcutting and etching.

The artist is known for his mathematically inspired works, impossible objects, optical illusions, double-meaning images and anamorphoses.
