Ágnes Kulcsár was born in Veszprém and has lived here ever since. She graduated in decorative painting from the Budapest Secondary School of Fine and Applied Arts, where she studied drawing, fresco, secco, sgrafitto, mosaic and glass window techniques.

She has worked as a museum exhibition designer, print designer and later as a typographer for the Petőfi Theatre.

Besides painting, she also works in typography and applied graphics. In the 1980s, she mainly created minimal art compositions with a lyrical atmosphere, mainly using screen-printing techniques. From the 90s onwards, the depiction of nature has played a decisive role in her paintings. On the one hand, she returned to the sensuous-surface intimacy of traditional painting, but on the other hand, she went beyond it. Her heterogeneous and eclectic style of representation is at once metaphorical and direct. Both natural and symbolic-decorative elements can be found in her expressive paintings.

As Erzsébet Molnár put it, "Looking at Ági Kulcsár's paintings, one imagines oneself in a fairytale dream world. Tiny, tiny leaves and flowers, red, green and yellow: the colours of hope, fertility and passion. The narrow landscape of her home, the surrounding houses and churches of Veszprém, the trees and the leaves, even with their dark colours, give the beauty of the night. Here, too, the tiny, bright stars of the artist's creativity appear."

In recent years, he has often used collage techniques to create his paintings, and has also created a new, unique artistic style by painting on spheres, cubes and calabashes

In 2013 the House of Arts Veszprém published a representative album of her painting work. From 2005 she had been the secretary of the Veszprém Artists' Guild, and from 2017 she has been its guild master.
