Inventive and expressive, Gábor Nagy from Hungary brings a fearless, experimental approach to floral design. With roots in fine art, he blends structure, bold color, and unconventional materials into fresh, surprising compositions. His work is characterized by creative thinking, technical awareness, and a deep sensitivity to sustainability - both in competitions and in the day-to-day reality of running a flower shop.

'I like to describe my signature style as bold and experimental. I'm always curious about using unusual materials or taking familiar ones and finding a completely new way to work with them. Color plays an important role for me too - there's something exciting about creating with vibrant combinations. I think what really defines my approach is how I blend my fine arts background with floristry, trying to push boundaries and develop something that feels fresh and different.'

'Inspiration comes from everywhere - fashion, art, music, dance, architecture - but nature remains my greatest source. Sometimes it's just a shape, a rhythm, or a detail in a plant that catches my attention. I tend to store ideas in my head, often combining two or three influences, and when the right moment comes, I try to bring them to life.'

'My preferences shift often, so I can't really name just one material or flower. I'm drawn to things that are a bit unusual or unexpected. Pot plants are something I especially enjoy working with. I also pay close attention to sustainability in everything I do. I try to make my work as natural and eco-friendly as possible, not only in my creative projects but also in the daily operations of our flower shop.'

'There are a few moments I'm particularly proud of - winning Eurofleurs in 2017 and placing second at the Europa Cup in 2022. But it's not only about competitions. I've had the chance to lead a lot of workshops and demonstrations in recent years that left me with strong memories and a real sense of connection. Those experiences have shaped me just as much.'

'It feels great to represent Hungary at the World Cup. I've really missed the atmos phere of international competition, so I'm looking forward to the whole experience - being there, creating under pressure, and seeing how others approach the same challenge.'

'My aim is always to be creative, to bring something special, something unexpected. Maybe my strongest quality is thinking outside the box - and just being myself. That's what I plan to do: show up with my signature style, stay authentic, and let the work speak. I'll see what happens.'
