Dr. Laszlo Csiky, physician and sculptor. Dr. Csiky was born on June 18, 1942, in Szeged. He graduated from medical school in 1966. Entering the world of fine art, he found many parallels with the world of medicine as he deepened his knowledge of human anatomy and anthropology. Under the direction of Professor Lipták, he specialised in the field of craniology at the Anthropology department and learned artistic anthropology from Professor Jen? Barcsai. During these years, he made a lot of caricatures representing his professors and other students, and he made the illustrations of the University yearbook. For one year and a half, he was an internist in Szentes and, from 1967, he became a General Practitioner. He qualified, as a hammer thrower, for the national first league, and he directed the training programs of 11 Hungarian champion athletes, as well as the training centre of the junior national team. Then he directed the preparation of the French throwers for the 1984 Olympic Games, mainly because of a press release published in the French sports magazine "L'Equipe". He made his very first sculpture at the age of five, called "Transylvanian man with a pipe". His first international exhibition took place in 1993, in Marosvasarhely, Romania. The same year, he made a very successful exhibition at the Hungarian Cultural Centre in Paris. He organised a large number of exhibitions all over Hungary: in Szeged, Budapest, Kecskemét, Kübekháza, Városföld, Veszprém, Békéscsaba, etc. and finally in the Hungarian Parliament, in 1995.

In 2000, he received an invitation to the First International Forum for Caricature in Dubai, where he became world champion with his sculptures representing Bill Clinton, Jacques Chirac, Boris Yeltsin and Luciano Pavarotti. He received the first prize from the Sheikh of Dubai. At the same time, he was invited to the "Palais du Roi de Rome" in Rambouillet, near Paris. The exhibition was inaugurated by the Vice-President of the French Senate and Mayor of Rambouillet, Mr. Gerard Larcher, in the presence of the Hungarian Ambassador, several French politicians and professors from the Sorbonne University.

In 2001, the Royal Nobel-Prize Academy of Switzerland invited him to Stockholm. Mr. András Bárány, President of the Nobel-Prize Nominating Committee, unveiled his composition representing the Hungarian origin Nobel-Price winner scientists, in the presence of the world's leading scientists. At the World Scientific Conference, organised by the Academy of Sciences of Finland, President Mr Reijo Vihko unveiled his sculpture representing a dolphin.

In 2003, he participated in the World Maquette Exhibition in Changchun, China. Ambassadors from more than 50 nations and the Chinese Minister of Culture participated in this event. Dr. Csiky received the First Prize of the World Maquette Exhibition, for his sculptures of Jacques Chirac and Luciano Pavarotti. In December 2003, he was invited to the "Cotemporanea dell'Arte Biennale", in Florence. The catalogue of the exhibition contains a photo of his sculpture representing "Kincsem", the famous horse and Mr. John Spike (Washington) greatly appreciated his works. In November, 2004, he received the "Doctor of the 21st Century" award of the Hungarian Medical Society (MOK). The artist was presented with the silver cup and the honorary diploma by the General Secretary of MOK, István Éger. In the same year, Pál K?, the Rector of the University of Fine Arts recommended him for the Kossuth Prize, with additional support from the Medical Society and the Mayor of Veszprém László Dióssy. Mr Hiller (the then Minister of Cultural Heritage) did not deem it worthy of consideration… In Passau in 2005, the Mayor of Passau Albert Zankl opened a successful exhibition of his works. In Szentes in 2006, he teamed up with Tónió (an excellent caricaturist) to hold a very popular joint exhibition, followed by another display of his sculptures in Kalocsa, also visited by the then Minister of Education András Bozóki.
