Upon graduation from the Academy, Tasnadi opened a small studio and continued his studies in Vienna. In 1955, he moved to London. One year later, he moved to the North American continent.Recognizing the fact he was virtually unknown in America, he turned his talents to a more settled profession and spent several years in the art and design field.

In 1970, he was named Art and Design Director for Simpson & Company in Toronto, Canada. He also maintained a studio there, where recognition and acceptance of his talent became apparent.Tasnadi won his first gold medal in 1949 at the Young Artists Competition in Budapest, Hungary. In 1963, the Gallery of France in Montreal, Canada gave him a one-man show. His paintings were selected to be on exhibit at the World Art Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee.
