ATILA (Attila BIRO, known as) was born on February 20, 1931 in Budapest. In 1944, at the age of thirteen, he left Hungary with his family. After a brief stay in Austria, he lived in Germany from 1945 to 1951 and from 1952 to 1958.

Atila began his architecture studies from 1951 to 1952 at the Pingusson workshop of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He completed them in 1958 in Stuttgart, where he attended the courses of architect Günter Behnisch, philosopher Max Bense and painter Willi Baumeister. A graduate in architecture from the University of Stuttgart, in the tradition of the Bauhaus, Atila will become a painter. He settled in Paris in 1959, where he married Lila Lakshmanan in 1963, whose father was Indian. Naturalized French in 1970, Atila continued his work in Paris until his death in 1987, at the age of fifty-six.

From 1959 until the end of 1973, Atila worked with several Parisian agencies where he participated in important architectural and urban planning projects, including the La Défense-Paris district. He embodied his sense of color and monumentality in numerous public spaces using various techniques and materials. In Nantes, Atila created a 9m x 3m. 50 enameled sheet metal wall in 1983 for the CCAS, Saint Similien square. He is represented in the Museum by a painting acquired by the Friends of the Museum of Fine Arts in Nantes.

Atila's creative journey involves a multidisciplinary approach. This will also lead him to engraving, monotype, drawing and lithography. But he will mainly assert himself in oil painting and watercolor. Atila has been exhibiting since 1957, particularly in France, Belgium, and Germany.

Around twenty museums have acquired his works.
