We are Natali, Filip, Katka and Michal – children of the renowned Slovak photographer Tibor Huszár. Today, Tibor, our father, would be 73 years old. He is no longer with us, but his work, and especially his light, lives on.
Exactly 20 years ago, Tibor Huszár prepared an exhibition titled „Children of God.“ At that time, he captured the ethnicities of Jews and Roma in different parts of the world, from New York to eastern Slovakia. He called this project his „intimate world“, a world of tolerance and mutual understanding, which he captured and spread with a camera in his hand. Tibor believed that every person is unique and has a story worth capturing.
Together with the civil association Lux Tiburius, we decided to renew and expand our father's exceptional project with the new name All Children of God / Všetky deti Boha.
We have expanded the project with other iconic photographs by Tibor,
which capture a person in intimate moments of their life, where they find pure, childlike joy. A person of any ethnicity, religion, origin or profession, praying, meditating, or just asking for hope. A person in connection with light, silence and God himself.

Our father was known to many as “Tibike” – always with a camera ready to capture moments that we don’t usually see. He loved life, good food, friends in his house in Harmonia and the peace of his cottage in the hills of Hradiště. With your support, you will help us pay tribute to him and spread his light. With this campaign, we convey to people the message of the uniqueness of every individual and the importance of mutual understanding. Tibor’s photographs are a symbol of tolerance, uniting everyone regardless of ethnicity, religion, or origin. Through the exhibition, we aim to showcase the value of humanity and remind people that, despite our differences, we are all “children of God” – unique and precious.
What will the money be used for?
The funds raised will be used to organise the photo exhibition „All children of God / Vsvetné deti Boha“ in the beautiful premises of the Synagogue in Senec. Your contributions will cover the costs of printing the photos, their professional installation and other organisational expenses, thanks to which a truly unique and immersive artistic experience will be created. Your support will help us revive Tibor's work and convey his message to a broader audience, who will then be able to perceive the world through his lens, with their hearts, openly and without prejudice.
Our father, Tibike, as his friends called him, always had a camera around his neck, ready to capture moments that many of us do not even see. He did not seek fame or recognition; he wanted to get to know people, their life stories, suffering, joys, hopes, and secrets. With his third eye – the lens of a small camera that he held in his large hands, he was able to capture the subtle, often unnoticed, and was always ready to press the shutter at the right moment.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and for joining us in honouring the memory of our father, Tibor Huszár. Your generosity means the world to us, and we are deeply grateful for your contribution to this vital project.
