He is frequently using Asian prints, or visual representations of mangas, or famous paintings. In his newest works he focuses the painting more to be on the verge of abstract and figurative art. He is frequently exhibiting all around Hungary and neighboring countries. During his studies, he had the chance to enter a scholarship in Naples for half semester in 2019.

He currently lives in Budapest and works at the art quarter budapest studio house. Széll prefers to work in several mediums, but his main focus is on picture making. Lately he has been creating drawings on paper using graphite and indigo techniques. Usually he works on two drawings in parallel, which interact back and forth of each other due tot he indigo placed between the two layers of paper. At certain intervals, he swaps the two sheets and continues the indigo surface with graphite. In this way, he creats sibling images that are duplicates of each other, but they are completely different. Sometimes after he finished a drawing, he cuts them into pieces and reuses its motifs in his later works by redrawing them with indigo.
