Zita Ujhelyi-Sebestyén was born on May 12, 1984, in Budapest, Hungary, and her early life was shaped by the political transition in Hungary around 1989-1990, which marked the end of the socialist regime. This historical shift influenced her artistic development and continues to inform her creative work. Now based in Luzern, Switzerland, Ujhelyi-Sebestyén draws from her multidisciplinary background, navigating between painting, installation, drawing, collage, and photography. Her use of cyanotype as an alternative photographic medium, along with her signature flower paintings, showcases her ability to bridge traditional and experimental art forms.

Ujhelyi-Sebestyén’s work is deeply introspective and engages with themes of nature, portraiture, and socio-political issues such as motherhood, women’s roles in society, and human rights. Through these themes, she weaves personal and political narratives into cohesive and thought-provoking visual experiences. Her cyanotypes and flower paintings have become a hallmark of her innovative approach, while her attention to human rights and women's social standing gives her work an edge of critical engagement that resonates across various contexts.

One of her most notable projects is the Isolation collection, a body of work that explores solitude, identity, and social conditions through works on paper, canvas, and installations. This series is a profound reflection on both the physical and metaphorical dimensions of isolation, and it stands as a testament to her capacity to create art that is both personal and universally relevant. Ujhelyi-Sebestyén has exhibited her work at key art fairs, and other significant events, further cementing her position as an influential voice in contemporary multidisciplinary art.
