About

Eva-Maria Fenz

Eva Fenz is a self-taught professional artist — painter, papermaker, printmaker, book illustrator, and zinester (zine-maker) — based in Austria.

Since 2018, she has been working as an independent artist with a focus on traditional painting, particularly portrait painting, and specializes in paper- and print-making. Fenz also manufactures paper, binds books and occasionally works as a commission painter and artist for individual orders.

In 2019, she self-published two zines featuring her works and stories. Her zine "Gemüsebedarf" is translated in both English and German and includes short stories and watercolor works related to food.

In 2022, Fenz' portrait of Franz Schuh was featured as the Frontispiece for "Franz Schuh- Vom Guten, Wahren und Schlechten" (Sonderzahl) and her illustrations were also published in "Schönheit, Ambition und Einsamkeit".

In 2023 — during a sick-leave — she selfpublished a new Zine titled "Byte-sized Bits of Bot-itude"

In 2024 Fenz produced over 15 portraits of Elias Canetti; along with some concept works; 4 of which got published in the book "Blendung als Lebensform" by Franz Schuh.

Currently, Fenz is working on new artworks in her home-studio and is focusing on developing her portraiture into a new direction.
