Eva was born in 1969 in Budapest but spent her childhood in the warm and colourful atmosphere of the Hugarian countryside, surrounded by folk art and the traditions of multi-ethnic cultures, such as Slave, Scwabian, Gypsy and Magyar. In 1995 after receiving her fine art degree from Nyiregyhaza College, she returned to a fast changing multicultural Budapest, where she worked as a teacher and carried on painting. In 2001 Eva married and moved to England and devoted herself full time to painting in her studio.
Eva's work is a link between her past and her present, old and new elements, Eastern Traditional and Western Modern. She believes that the process of capturing and transforming reality is a long internal journey based on nature and past tradition, which has at the same time, an impulse to find its right place in the present. Her work includes the use of charcoal with its simplicity of black and white, while her oil paintings are colourful and atmospheric often referencing her homeland.
