Éva Dolha, a well-known painter from Cluj, is proof that passion and talent are the ingredients of success, regardless of age. She began painting at the age of 54, and just two years later she took the entrance exam at the University of Fine Arts in Cluj and became a student. Today, her painting exhibitions travel to cities all across the country and even abroad.
Agricultural engineer Eva Dolha was going through a difficult period about 10 years ago. She was saddened because she had not seen her daughter for years and was unable to travel to the United States to visit her. In this context, a friend—who was a teacher at the Folk School of Arts in Cluj—suggested that she join a painting workshop to help take her mind off the problems that were causing her so much distress.
