- It can be said of Ferenc Pataki that he has develop his own distinctive naive style, and is best known for his country landscapes - which he paints as a means of escaping the harsh realities of city life. You can always pick a Pataki. If it doesn't include his trademark motifs of three little clouds and three swallows ( because life is so beautiful) and one dead tree ( because the world is not yet perfect), then you know he didn't paint it.
- "In 1987 he has exhibited for the first time abroad, in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Numerous exhibits at home and abroad follow, from Seoul, Paris,Tokyo, New York, to Chicago, Melbourne, Seville. His paintings are part of representative galleries and private collections on every continent, in more than 35 countries. Especially in Latin America and Japan.
- Over the years Ferenc has received many awards and honors for his work and has been featured in many print and online publications.
- Pataki is a naïve painter known and acknowledged all over the world".
