Eva Makk Painting - Bois De Boulonge

Eva Makk was born in Ethiopia, Africa, of Hungarian parents, and studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts, Paris, France, and the Academy of Fine Arts, Rome, Italy. She married Americo Makk, and together they launched their spectacular careers. The lyrical beauty of her impressionistic style and subtle color blends has captured the imagination of a worldwide audience and won for her an extensive list of awards for distinguished achievement. Rosette is the quintessence of Eva Makk.
