Elena Erős (pronounced: Erosh, which means "strong" in Hungarian) was born in Moscow, Russia. Her first art teacher was her father Boris Egorov, aircraft designer. She continued her art education with realist painter A. Motovilov. In 1971 she competed with thousands of other talented young people and after series of entry exams won a coveted place at the Faculty of Applied Art, Moscow State University of Design and Technology, where she studied under renowned Russian Artists. In 1973 Elena Eros was awarded an ‘Outstanding Student International Scholarship’, enabling her to continue her education at the Hungarian University of Art & Design in Budapest, Hungary, from where she has MFA in Men's and Women' Fashion Design.

Eros moved to Great Britain in 1996, where she became a frequent visitor to the local Windsor Race Course and other Equine Events with her sketch book and a camera.
