Sans titre

Maria-Zsuzsa de Faykod was born in Hungary of a Swedish father, a physician, and an Austro-Hungarian mother, physics and mathematics teacher.

She knew from an early age that sculpture would be her deepest and most complete mode of personal expression.

At the age of 16, she had her first patrons and was fully devoted to her art.
Once she had completed her fine arts studies in Budapest, Hungary and Gand,Belgium, she left Hungary and came to live in France in 1976.

She graduated from the Fine Arts School in Paris in 1978 and she also studied philosophy at La Sorbonne.
In those days she shared her creative time between Paris and Carrara, Italy where she felt a deep attraction for marble.

She has taken part in many collective or individual exhibitions, mostly as guest of honour, in France and abroad.

Several of her sculptures were presented at the De Faykod Gallery in Paris from 1995 to 1998.
