Stefánia Pénzes (b. 1991, Budapest) is a Hungarian interdisciplinary artist working across visual art, music, and writing. Growing up in a theatre environment in Kaposvár, creativity was part of her everyday life from an early age. Art became a way for her to express emotions and inner experiences.

​

She began writing poetry as a child, later expanding into singing and drawing. Her artistic path led her through studies in liberal arts, graphic design, theatre, and music. At sixteen, she joined the jazz-fusion band Scast Blues Band as a singer and lyricist. After returning to Budapest, she co-founded Uknow Duo with guitarist Szabi Dörnyei, performing at festivals, bars, and cultural events before moving to the UK to study music at ICMP, London.

​

Her visual practice is closely connected to psychology and mental health, themes that have shaped both her exhibitions and live performances. Her debut solo exhibition #triggerwarning (2020, Budapest) explored mental health through drawings, poetry, and music, contrasting clinical psychological language with lived emotional experience. This was followed by Unfinished Business (2023, Budapest) and Fragile Self (2024, London), an interdisciplinary event exploring grief and vulnerability through collaboration with poets and musicians.

​

She has participated in group exhibitions and festivals in Hungary and internationally, including Boomer Gallery (London), Luna Grande Art (Istanbul), and Luminoir Art Gallery (Camden, London). In 2025, she presented Erased as part of the FlussLab residency, exhibiting in Berlin and developing a new body of work focused on memory, absence, and identity. Her work has been featured in interviews and media discussions around mental health, art, and music.

She is currently based in London, developing new projects and collaborations alongside creating intimate, handmade works that invite emotional connection and reflection.
