About Dora
Dóra Pál, known artistically as BYDORAPAL, is a Hungarian contemporary figurative oil painter. She graduated from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in 2009. Her distinctive thin glazing technique conveys lightness and refined virtuosity, evolving graphic and charcoal-inspired methods into her own instantly recognizable style. Her works blend timeless details from the designer world with captured moments of joy and profound significance from life, expressed through positive energy and harmonious colors.
Her art is defined above all by the ART OF STYLE: elegant compositions, classic designer elements, and creations inspired by French sophistication. British VOGUE wrote about her:
“Dóra Pál’s timeless oil paintings merge contemporary fine art with an iconic style, harmonious colors, elegant compositions, and classic designer details. Inspired by fashion and French refinement, her works celebrate femininity and joy.”
Her-scale oil paintings and the especially beloved PETITES among collectors (30×30×4 cm jewel-like pieces). These bring intimate fragments of the larger works closer to the viewer, allowing everyone to discover their own style within them. In their delicate details, each person can find a personal memory, emotion, or aesthetic that resonates deeply—making them quickly become cherished favorites and highly sought-after collector’s items. The REBORN series was presented with great success in a solo exhibition in 2024 at the iconic Aranybástya in Budapest’s Castle District. Pieces from the new IKON series have already been discovered and acquired by collectors.
Her studio visits offer a truly special experience: spots fill up quickly, as visitors can connect personally with the artist and immerse themselves in the magical atmosphere of the creative process, witnessing firsthand how these timeless works come to life. These visits are exclusive and intimate, Dóra always ensures her community feels truly valued and appreciated.
Her work has been recognized by international media outlets (British Vogue, British Elle Decoration, Glamour, Art-Wire, and others), and her talent first emerged in the early 2000s, when, still very young, she created paintings in Spain. Today she lives and works in Budapest, with the goal of further igniting interest in art among the Hungarian audience while continuing to grow her already passionate and dedicated collector community.
