An artist who travels frequently throughout the year sailing and painting in regions as diverse as Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, and Polynesia, Darvas has also kept a main studio and home in Tahoe for over 30 years where he is inspired and relaxed by the area's unfettered scenic beauty. An Impressionist painter, his art is bold and spontaneous with life, light, mood and color - much like his own vibrant and generous personality.
Born in Hungary in 1946 and raised in Texas since the age of ten, Darvas' early natural talent and the rich artistic heritage of the Southwest secured his destiny to become a world-renown painter despite the fact that before earning his degree in Fine Art, he had first majored in Physics (during his senior year, he'd achieved the highest statewide SAT score in Math and could have easily become a rocket scientist). Today, his inimitable oils, acrylics and watercolors adorn many homes and public buildings across California, the U.S. and the world bringing nature's free and compelling beauty into the lives of many.
