About the founder

Gábor Kovács spent his childhood in Kakasszék, then after finishing grammar school in Orosháza he studied in the Moscow State Institute for International Relations. His first workplace was in the Department of Currency Management in the Hungarian State Bank, but he soon continued his work at a Budapest subsidiary of Citibank as a Managing Director and then became the deputy chairman of the London Citibank. He currently holds the position of Chief Executive at Bankár Holding, he is the founder, owner, trustee and board member of numerous large companies.

His successes in the business world have granted him the possibility to collect works of art which largely contributed to his emotional growth. His love of harmony and beauty gave birth to the thought that he should create something of exemplary value: in 2003 he founded the Kovács Gábor Art Foundation.

Gábor Kovács inherited his susceptibility towards beauty from his mother. His childhood period lingers on, his love for people and nature, a sense of space and the sensual world of the horizon have remained with him. The intellectual goals and eternal spiritual values hidden in exterior beauty have directed his conscience towards ’the person’. The importance of a healthy body and mind inspired the founding of the Telki Hospital. He created a health centre, which within the world of medicine aims to provide the best and the most - including professional attendance and nursing. With accentuating the harmony of the interior design he aimed at creating a balance and with that the creation of a more humane health care system.
