László HEFTER
1943, Budapest
glass designer, restorer artist
He graduated from the Hungarian Academy of Applied Arts in 1975. He designs and makes architectural interior and exterior spaces, works of mural glass art and autonomous glass pictures. His works are inspired by the profoundly emotional interaction between glass and light as well as by the artist’s desire to adapt objects to their functions. He restores stained glass windows from various historical periods, and it is thanks to his work that the stained glass windows of the Abbey of Pannonhalma, the Matthias Church in Buda Castle, the Hungarian National Bank,the Votive Church in Szeged and numerous other church and public buildings are now restored to their former beauty. He won the Noémi Ferenczy Award in 1997, the Saint Ladislaus Award in 2011, the County-level Prima Award in 2018. His works can be found in several Hungarian public collections.
