About me
Yes. About me. My name is Gabriel Balazs. I’m 3/4 Hungarian and 1/4 Romanian. I was born by the seaside (Black Sea) but I spent most of my childhood in the mountains.
I love horses. I’ve loved horses ever since I was a colt (heh heh). I slept with horses.
I love Elvis. Ever since I was 12. I didn’t sleep with Elvis though. I paint. I sing. I paint horses and I sing Elvis. Some other stuff too.
I have the bad habit of choosing a new pen name every year. This makes it harder for people to recognize my paintings. Not that it helps me any… But I’m still looking for the perfect name. Right now I’m “Gabriel Tora” or just “Tora”. I’ve been “Ian,” “Gabor” ..

I like your sense of humour
I had a real moment of joy and delight visiting your galleries. If I could, I’d buy them all 
but I am only a student. I love your Winnetou painting! and sure,the horses! I wish you good luck and many sold paintings:)

Gabriel your stuff is great and I am still anticipating that you will draw me peforming “in concert.” It would be a great tribute and honor.
Perhaps, you should change your name to “Waylon Blaaze,”
since you resemble Waylon Jennings in your self portrait
and you are smoking a cigarette (ie: blaze) in that picture.
Best of success.
Sincerely,
The Legendary Danny O’Doul

Dear gabriel,
Im a 25 years old girl, and tonight i saw you work for the frst time ever. I was searcnig for horse art, like i always do. I loved it as soon as i saw it.
Im verry intrested in your work, and i like to have some, but i dont know where to get it, and if its expensive, it looks expensive to me.
Im looking for my own place at the moment, and thats why im searching for horse paintings and drawnings. I would like to have a few beautiful horses on my wall, but only when i can look at them every day, and dream.
So can you please help me.
Greetz from holland.

And keep up the good work, its sunshine to my eyes
