I mostly paint with blue colour that is the colour of Planet Earth and also the colour of Soul. However, I also use red that is the colour of Mars, a lifeless planet. For me painting is a token of energy, coming from my soul.”quotes Balogh  Jenő Balogh’s ideology and efforts try to bring-out the real aspects of humanity through his works. Mother Teresa, the woman of love as addressed by Balogh, is the inspiration behind his works.
