Judit Czimer-Szendrei (Miskolc, june 03. 1961 –) Contemporary artist living in Debrecen, Hungary. Judit creates her pictures using a variety of stamps. Quoting Péter Antal, the well-known art collector, she "paints with stamps"

Life
As a child, like others, she collected stamps. She made her first picture in 2015, in order to work together with her daughter. She immediately destroyed this because she didn't like the end result. She created the next picture on cardboard with the napkin technique, entitled Flower Circles. A colleague of hr fell in love with the picture, so Judit gave it to him. Since then, more than a hundred pictures have already been completed, and there are currently 135.

Technique
The technique she works with is constantly changing and developing. She works on water-based glue and fiberboard. In the beginning, she used the stamps as a whole, placing them next to each other in a row. Today she also uses scissors and sometimes prints on the back of the sheet, creating a special stamp herself.

Exhibitions
Judit participated in many exhibitions, not only at home, but also abroad. Her painting "Cirque" can be seen in the Royal Palace in Tirana, and teh "Queen of the Rosary" can be seen in Vatican City. At the Stamp Museum in Budapest, the picture "Taormina" is a little different can be seen by everyone, and at the Greek Catholic community center in Vásárosnamény, "Together with Christ" can be seen. The work "Waiting for Éva" was included in the Hungaricon collection. She received an invitation from journalist Tamás Kárpáti, the mastermind and owner of the Hungaricon collection, to create a "stamp image" using the magician Anikó Ungár's magic wand, rope (which turned into a snake), red cloth (which she turned into an apple) and autographed cards. In 2022, in Luton, England, Stamp! a comprehensive exhibition of her craftsmanship was organized under the title, which was opened by the ambassador of Hungary.
