Rosa Leung Trombitas was born in China in 1940, the fourth of eight children of a wealthy landlord and a midwife. In 1948, as Communism began to rise throughout the country, her family fled to Hong Kong, and she was left in an English boarding school with her older siblings while her parents traveled on to Singapore to establish a home there. Her father, a graduate of Shanghai University with a focus in art, began selling paintings to raise money, and taught Rosa the fundamentals of painting when the family was reunited in 1954. She attended Nanyang Academy of Fine Art for a year in 1960 before she left to pursue commercial art full time. In 1972 she married Csaba Trombitas and began to travel the world with him for work, spending much time in Africa, Egypt, and Iran gaining inspiration from ancient monuments and stark landscapes. Her work was first displayed in Cairo, eventually resulting in five solo exhibitions there and in Singapore. She describes her style as a combination of Western, Middle Eastern, Japanese, and Chinese influences, often combining gold leaf from Egypt and gold paper from Japan to work on paintings of lotuses. At first producing mainly oil paintings, she has since developed jewelry and watercolor works, and teaches courses at her home studio in Scottsdale, Arizona.
