Trajan was born in Hungary and moved to New York at age 21, where he remained for his entire career. Though he earned his living as a cook and baker, his passion was for art, and he pursued both painting and sculpture actively. He had his first solo exhibition in 1944 in New York and was exhibited frequently at Zabriskie Gallery, despite having very little commercial success throughout his career.
