The art of Eva Gyorffy is expressionistic with signs of symbolism. Her portraits have a psychological content. The Lexicon of Contemporary Hungarian Art (page 765) says about her work: “...in her portraits opens up a deeper layer...”
After the discovery of the computer, her work became more colourful, without loosing pictorial sensibility. One of her most appreciated experiences is redesigning oil paintings in the computer and giving them several different new expressions.
