Born in Budapest , Hungary , Istvan Zsako studied art at the Hungarian School of Fine Arts, Budapest (1968-1972) and sculpture at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, Budapest (1979-1984). In 1987 he won the Scholarship of Rome, affording him the chance to travel in Italy and take inspiration from countless ancient statues.

In his over twenty years of professional practice his bronze sculptures have been exhibited throughout Europe and Canada and are part of important public and private collections. His work has been reviewed in international art magazines, as well as being featured in an episode of CBC television's Nature of Things with David Suzuki. He has received numerous grants and awards in Europe and Canada , most recently the New Brunswick Art Board's project grant. He lives in Baie Verte , NB.

Istvan Zsako casts his surrealistic, playful figures from bronze, first forming small figures from wax, then making enlargement in plaster. His largest bronze sculpture to date is 6'7'' tall. He patinates and paints them sometimes with enamel paint to give an individual finish to each piece. He also works with alabaster, embellished with lead inserts and gold leaf. Istvan Zsako's figures are modern time idols, playful variations of freedom, sexuality, love, masculinity and femininity. They are significant works of contemporary Hungarian sculpture.
