FERENC PACZKA

Mexican painter Ferenc Paczka was born and raised in Mexico City.

He began painting as a teenager, initially intrigued by the naive style of Henri Rousseau before developing a deep passion for Surrealism. This led him to pursue a Fine Arts degree focused on painting at the renowned La Esmeralda, the National Painting, Sculpture, and Printmaking School, an institution where icons like Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo once taught.

Paczka later moved to the United States to continue his studies, earning a second Bachelor of Arts from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. He has since made the U.S. his home. His diverse artistic style and technique have been recognized in several art shows and national contests, including Honorable Mentions at the Monterrey Biennial. His artworks are also featured in Mexican museums.
