Miklós Demény's oeuvre is unified, continuous and cut from the same cloth. Even his earliest works, in the first half of the 1960s, testify that his art travelled in a well-defined direction from the beginning, on a path that saw the results of Cubism and geometric constructivism as its source. Around 1965, among classical modern artists, Miklós Demény was greatly influenced by Fernand Léger. Demény painted his still lifes, cityscapes and interiors with unmixed colours from the same tube. Most of his beautiful still lifes in the 1970s were inspired by the petal motifs of one neo-avant-garde industrial artist, István Nádler.
