Lili Árkayné Sztehló (7 November 1897 – 28 October 1959 in Budapest) was a Hungarian painter and artist, wife of Bertalan Árkay, best known for her stained glass window paintings in parish churches and cathedrals throughout Hungary.

She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts studying under Lajos Deák Ébner, János Vaszary and Oszkár Glatz in 1923, later making scholarly trips to Rome and Paris.

Árkayné Sztehló participated in a number of national and foreign applied arts exhibitions, including Monza in 1930, Rome in 1934, winning gold medals and the Grand Prix.

This the procedure requires the artist to renounce the representation of space structured according to the laws of perspective, to build her compositions flat and to simplify the lines of her drawing to the last detail.

The artist has completed the final touches on the cartons of the third series, and within a few months the finished work will shine in the Gothic chapel integrated into the Győr Cathedral.
