Corvus-Kora Róbert Corvus-Kora Róbert has lived and worked in Lőkösháza since his childhood. His first major success came at the age of 16 in Budapest, where one of his paintings was awarded a certificate. He was greatly influenced by Renaissance art and 17th-century Dutch artists, aspiring to paint in their style. He has created several public sculptures and monuments from marble and limestone. Always passionate about monumental, life-sized depictions, he decided to paint his first 9x4.5-metre panoramic painting for the Hungarian Millennium in 1996. A total of nine panoramic paintings have been completed. His future plan is to create another 9x4.5-metre painting and build a circular hall to house the artworks. The building will be unique in the world, as no such circular hall exists that contains ten panoramic paintings, each exploring a different theme. The artist regularly supports Lőkösháza. His works adorn the public spaces and interiors of the village, such as the St. Stephen statue, the cross in front of the church, the Trianon memorial, and the monument commemorating the 1956 Revolution and War of Independence. He has also erected statues in memory of Jenő Gávai Gaál and Tibor Frigyes Májer. The columbarium wall and the crucifix in the local cemetery are also his contributions. His paintings decorate the Community Centre and the Mayor's Office. His ninth panoramic painting can be viewed at the Petőfi Sándor Community Centre in Lőkösháza by prior arrangement. Appointments can be made with the artist for guided tours.

József Kotroczó's Diorama Collection József Kotroczó, the creator of Hungary's smallest 'Golgotha' works, was born on 17th April 1926. According to the Ethnographic Lexicon (pages 383-384), in the 17th-18th centuries, these works held such value that they became part of heritage collections. His 'Patience Bottles' are wooden carvings built inside bottles ranging from 0.5 to 1000 ml: cross, ladder, pillar of torture, whip, spear, sword, hammer, sponge. Creating these pieces pushes the boundaries of human endurance and the impossible. The original colour of the wooden carvings is white (Canadian poplar), symbolising the purity of the soul, while the cork represents eternity. The exhibition can be viewed at the Sándor Petőfi Community Centre.

Flower Exhibition by Mrs Károly Kovács Made of Sugar Mrs Károly Kovács was born in 1957 in Lőkösháza, where she has lived ever since. Following in her father’s footsteps, she also became a tailor and seamstress, working in Lőkösháza. She initially created sugar flowers and decorated cakes as a hobby for her family and friends. Through this, her work came to the attention of our town’s mayor, Györgyi Szűcsné Gergely. She encouraged her to participate in the amateur cake-making competition organised by the Mihály Munkácsy Museum in Békéscsaba in 2015, where she received a special award for her cake composition titled “My Grandchild’s Tale.” Later, she completed a sugar flower-making course, where she met Master Confectioner Dr Zoltán, a member of the Békés County Culinary Team. Dr Zoltán noticed her work and, in 2016, invited her to create floral decorations for their table at the Culinary Olympics in Erfurt. Since 2016, she has been making the village day cake for Lőkösháza every year. Her exhibition can be viewed at the Sándor Petőfi Community Centre in Lőkösháza.
