Fajó was impressed by the technique of silkscreen printing from the very beginning of his career, which offered a more liberated creative possibility than what was given to artists at the time in the politically regulated painting and sculpture.

János Fajó (1937-2018) is one of the unavoidable leading figures of Hungarian constructivist geometric art. His work as a teacher, exhibition organiser and graphic design spanned countries and extended beyond Europe. In his pedagogical, literary and editorial work, he addressed artistic issues that are still valid and instructive today. The basic artistic truths that Fajó articulated not only in his painting, sculpture and graphic works, but also in his writings and textbooks are valid for art in all countries.

His work is structured around several emblematic motifs. By creating grandiose variations and versions of the circle, the square and the triangle, the artist, who abstracted natural forms to the extreme, built up a unique set of motifs, which makes his name unmistakable.
