Csenge Varkonyi, (born 16, June, 1999) is a Hungarian contemporary artist known for her large scaled paintings, sculptures and portrait series. Csenge produces work in a variety of media including drawing, painting, mixed media, printing, photography and sculpture. The artist`s exceptional talent was discovered at first grade by her teacher who encouraged her to apply to children's` competitions where she had an number of successful wins at national organisations such as the Hungarian `Madarak es fak napja` and the National Geographic magazine.

Known for her delightfully messy jet organised style, her pictures can be viewed from two distinctive perspectives; close up and from a distance which highlights the intentional contrast between a single detail detail to a whole image. Csenge often issues confrontational and taboo subjects relying on her raw artistic talent as a 'shock tactic'. She often addresses her personal interests and problems in a very recognisable and relatable manner including animal rights, depression, a sense of emptiness and other social elements, often mocking societal expectations.

In 2016 the artist started her project `old faces` featuring portraits ageing people commonly drawn by graphite or pen in a circular manner which the artist calls 'twirlism'.
