She is currently based in Luzern, Switzerland. As a performance-based multidisciplinary artist, she works across painting, installation, drawing, collage, and photography, employing cyanotype as an alternative photographic medium. Ujhelyi-Sebestyén is best known for her cyanotypes and flower paintings, which have become a hallmark of her innovative approach to exploring the boundaries of traditional and experimental art forms.
Her work frequently engages with themes of nature, portraiture, and pressing socio-political issues such as motherhood, women’s roles in society, and human rights. Ujhelyi-Sebestyén’s art is characterized by its introspective and thought-provoking nature, often weaving personal and political narratives into cohesive visual experiences. A notable project in her career is the Isolation collection, which includes works on paper, canvas, and installations that reflect on solitude, identity, and social conditions. This series stands out as a significant exploration of isolation in both physical and metaphorical senses.
She has also participated in key art fairs, biennales, and other significant art events, further establishing her presence as an influential voice in contemporary multidisciplinary art.
