Born in Hungary, Eva Fialka's artistic journey began with a focus on applied arts and decorative painting. During her formative years, she immersed herself in the study of ancient techniques, mastering the intricacies of gilding, working with textures, and exploring various methods such as trompe l'oeil, fake marble, and fake wood. This early foundation in traditional craftsmanship laid the groundwork for her later artistic endeavors.

Having studied decorative painting, Fialka initially found herself engaged in the restoration of old wall paintings and gilding, bringing back to life elements that had lost their original luster. This experience shaped her artistic perspective, influencing her to appreciate the beauty of textures worn and patinated by the passage of time. Reflecting on this transition, Fialka remarked, "Before, I restored old wall paintings and gilding which had lost their shine, today on my canvases, I try to reproduce these textures worn and patinated by time :)"

At the age of 19, Eva Fialka made France her home, where she embarked on a successful career as a graphic designer and fashion stylist. Despite finding fulfillment in these roles, her true passion for painting persisted. In 2014, fueled by a desire to fully dedicate herself to her art, Fialka made the courageous decision to transition into the realm of independent artistry.

Her paintings, often featuring the enigmatic presence of black cats, offer viewers a glimpse into a world where expressive aesthetics meet a masterful use of texture and color.
