Szabó Rebeka ‘Perry,’ also known as ‘pinknitemare’ on Instagram, is an artist from Hungary with a lifelong passion for creative expression. Though she loved drawing in anime style as a child, she lacked the opportunity and support to fully develop her skills.
Despite this, Szabó has always found joy in creation, whether through traditional or digital mediums, furniture refurbishing, singing, connecting with nature, or handmade crafts. Her passion extends to all forms of artistic expression.
Szabó’s artwork centres on female characters, depicted in various roles and environments. Her style, characterised by intricate details and vibrant colours, blends elements of graphic illustration, painting, and anime. Through her work, she seeks to convey a sense of calm and happiness, even when exploring darker themes, as she reflects the strength, complexity, and beauty of women. While she is deeply fascinated by women as beings, Szabó finds it challenging to see herself in the same way.
A perfectionist by nature, Szabó often struggles to let go of that mindset, but in her art, she strives for harmony rather than perfection. Currently, she is on a personal journey to explore her own femininity, particularly in response to being perceived as a “too strong” woman. Her soft yet bold artistic style mirrors this exploration, expressing the gentler sides of womanhood while embracing its complexity and power. Goddess motifs and astrology feature prominently in her work, serving as symbols of her deepening exploration of identity and inner strength.
Szabó’s vision is to create a distinctive style that is instantly recognisable, evoking joy and curiosity in those who view her art. Through her work, she aims to honour the multifaceted nature of women, offering a visual reflection of the beauty and strength she sees in others, even as she continues to discover it within herself.
