Farkas Fischhof

Eva was born and grew up in Budapest, Hungary. Her childhood and adolescence were greatly influenced by the artistic work of her mother, who was a famous prima ballerina, and of the enthusiastic patronage of the arts by her rich father.

The sport of competitive swimming was and still is the main course of the larger Farkas family – Eva herself, her son Irad, her daughter Annette and the grandson Jonathan were all swimming champions, brought to success by the famous international swimming coach, George Farkas, Eva’s husband since 1956.

In her professional life, Eva graduated colleges for drawing and sculpturing, and further post-graduated in Paris, London, Amsterdam and Vienna. She also taught for four years in the college of classic arts in Lahr, Germany.

Eva became famous all over Europe and beyond, for her realistic perspective, while spreading the arts and culture of Hungary.
Eva creates on a daily basis; paintings on paper and canvas with pencil drawing, aquarelles, pastel, acrylic and oil colors, and art sculptures with terracotta or bronze or using classic methods. She’s a perfectionist, and a great believer in quality over quantity. Her daily routine involves teaching classic drawing, painting and sculpturing to adults and children. She also swims daily. Music is Eva’s most significant inspirer in her work. She's mostly fond of Jazz, Blues and classic music. Eva’s hobby is extreme sports – flying light aircrafts and parachuting.

Eva Farkas-Fischhof also became a famous professional painter of portraits for many politicians, ministers, movie stars, fashion models and other celebrities, who modeled to her throughout the years for “face paintings”. She’s also an experienced “pet portraits” artist.
