The painter Eva Boulgoura was born in Constantinople in 1917 and passed away in 2004.
Her family, originally from Amasya in Pontus, fled in 1922, initially to Galați, Romania, and finally settled in Athens in the early 1930s. She painted since childhood, but due to her parents’ refusal to let her attend the Athens School of Fine Arts, she pursued independent studies in painting under V. Germenis and A. Vasilikiotis, and in sculpture under Th. Apartis.
She engaged in nudes, genre painting (ethography), landscapes, flower painting, and still life, influenced by Fauvism, Impressionism, and Expressionism.
She held 13 solo exhibitions in Athens and participated in numerous group exhibitions in Greece (e.g., Panhellenics 1957, 1960, 1963, 1967, 1969, 1971, 1973, 1975) and abroad (e.g., Paris, London, Nicosia, Cologne, Canada).
Her works are held in the National Gallery of Greece, the Municipal Gallery of Athens, the Museum of Modern Greek Art of the Municipality of Rhodes, the National Bank of Greece Cultural Foundation (MIET), the National Bank of Greece, and elsewhere.
