About this title

About the Author

Z J Galos was born in eastern Austria, close to the border of Hungary. He witnessed as a boy the horrors of a nation's suppression, erupting in the Hungarian Revolution in 1958. He finished his education in art and architecture in Vienna, married and sailed for Africa, to seek his childhood dreams and see elephants; he had drawn for his art classes, in their natural habitat. Meeting a varied facet of people and cultures, working as a draughtsman in an Engineering office, as an architect for a cultural centre, as coordinator with professionals and craftsmen, he made good use of his language skills, travelling throughout Southern Africa. On a trip to Lesotho a native artist showed to him rock paintings that made a lasting impression on him with their stark palimpsest outlines and typified movements of animals and humans. It would influence his artistic work. His vast collection of slides and drawings had been lost during a change of domicile, but further studies of the art of t he San people reawakened his dormant artistic longing for expression, filling sketchbooks with drawings and notebooks with prose. While revisiting the capitals of Europe, he sensed the bond of art being borderless and free, reaching out across continents into the world. During an exhibition of 'Picasso in Africa', he started to evolve his character Zsolt, who's vocation is teaching and living art as a unifier and healer. Encouraged by friends and fellow writers, his passion unfolded for novel writing.
