Margaret Devenyi’s art is characterized by its vibrant colors and dynamic compositions.

A scientist by profession, an artist by passion, her art exudes a sense of energy and movement, a reflection of her deep curiosity and discovery.

She had a unique ability to blend the abstract and the representational, creating pieces that are visually striking and thought-provoking, her use of bold colours and contrasting hues, completing the artistic process.

Her paintings often feature natural landscapes, capturing the beauty and essence of places she found inspiring, such as the hills of Provence or the vibrant fields of flowers.

Overall, her art can be described as a celebration of life and nature, infused with a scientific precision and an artist’s sensitivity. Each piece invites viewers to explore and interpret the world through her eyes.

Born in Hungary in 1930, she moved to Vancouver, Canada, in 1957.

Her recognition in the art world is widespread.

In the late 1970’s the U.S. company 3M purchased six of her large paintings for their corporate collection.

The Hungarian government gave her a solo exhibition in 1987 recognizing her work as an artist and scientist (specializing in biochemistry and molecular biology).

As well she had 26 solo shows on two continents, with the Art Works Gallery in Vancouver being as her permanent representative.
