Ágnes Herczeg is a Hungarian artist who works with found wood and embroidery with only plant-based materials.[1][2] She was born in Kecskemét.[3] Herczeg is a graduate of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts and studied textile conservation.[4][5] Her embroidery has been produced with methods including needle lace, pillow lace, and macramé.[6]

Herczeg's art often portray women as introspective and resting. Critic Sara Barnes describes Herczeg's pieces as having a "striking visual juxtaposition [between] the looseness of the lace and the solidity of the wood."[2]
