What do they say about me?

With Éva Farkas's help and guidance, we can become part of a special community where everyone is given the opportunity to soar—but we know that we have to work hard for everything. Éva makes this work an interesting and enjoyable challenge. We have to master all the technical skills that make this possible, and under Évi's guidance, we do so as if it were not difficult at all, even if we have already dismantled the difficult-to-make detail three times and it will only be beautiful on the fifth attempt, or if we find it more difficult to understand the logic of abdominal breathing.

Éva's classes always have a special atmosphere: they are both disciplined and liberating. She teaches us attention in drawing and patience in weaving, imperceptibly yet profoundly. She does not rush us, but we always feel that we are making progress—every line, every thread brings us closer to understanding what it really means to create.

We often chat and laugh next to the loom, and Éva points out with subtle remarks what brings a piece of work to life. Her knowledge is not only technical, but also human: she teaches us how to be present—in the material, in the movement, and a little bit in ourselves as well.

When I first arrived at the drawing camp, I never imagined I would improve so much in just a few weeks. Until then, I had only drawn as a hobby, but there I learned what it really means to look at a form, observe the nuances, and consciously work on the composition. Aunt Éva pays attention to every little detail, but she always encourages you—if I messed something up, she didn't scold me, but showed me how to make it even better.

More About Me

Who am I?

Art is my most important means of expression, the language of my existence. On this page, I would like to share with you the path that led me to the world of textile art and the creed that permeates each of my creations. Learn about my story, my mentors, and the milestones that shaped my career.

My love of art dates back to the Secondary School of Art in Pécs, where painter László Valkó and textile artist Diana Bizséné Kovács launched my career. In 1984, I graduated from the Hungarian College of Applied Arts with a degree in tapestry, where I had the opportunity to study under such outstanding masters as János Miklós Kádár, János Szabó, Károly Plesnivy, Margit Szilvitzky, and Csaba Polgár.

At the beginning of my career, I focused on depicting nature, working with classic tapestry techniques and subtle color transitions. One day, however, an exhibition theme inspired me to explore new paths and materials. This is when my work entitled “Lelet” (Find) was born, which marked the beginning of a new era: I began to combine elaborate tapestry with coarse, hand-woven hemp sackcloth. This contrast was not only an aesthetic experiment, but also a reflection of the complexity of today’s world.
