Július Lakatoš - an naive painter, came from the village of Selice. He started to draw the first pictures with pencil, later with tempera. Years later he started painting on canvas. Landscapes are the dominant motif of his works. He painted exclusively in the winter season and at night, when the ideas that emerged while fishing on the river Váh matured in him. He did not depict the Romani theme unless requested by the Roma museum. His dream was to paint an old Romani pero (a Romani street, ghetto) where he grew up.
