Gizella Varga Sinai was born in Csakvár in 1944. In 1964, he emigrated to Austria, where he obtained an art teacher's degree at the Vienna School of Decorative Arts. There she met her future husband, the Iranian film director Khosrow Sinai. In 1967, she settled in Tehran with her husband.

In 1968, he had his first solo exhibition at the modern art gallery in Tehran. In 1978, he won the prize for the "mirror in the mirror" exhibition. Between 1981 and 1987, Gizella taught at the Contemporary Studio in Tehran, and then taught art at the schools of the German Embassy for 25 years.

In 2001, Gizella became a member of the Dena art group, which was founded by Iranian female artists (including Faridah Lashai, Farah Usoli, Maryam Shirinlou, Shahla Habibi, Rana Farnoud, etc.)
During their six-year career, they held exhibitions in various countries around the world, such as Poland, Switzerland, Hungary, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Iran. Among these exhibitions, the most important stops were in the building of the UN in Geneva, the building of the European Parliament in Brussels and the Ludwig Museum in Koblenz.

In the catalog of her first solo exhibition in the new art gallery, Gizella wrote: "inexpressible feelings are hidden in short moments. They are so expressionless and fleeting. The only sign of their existence is color, which changes in an instant. I am happy to find such lost feelings in the tangle of my lines and colors ."
Javad Mojabi writes: “gisella creatures such as idols, stone idols, animal men, ruined and abandoned buildings, faces covered with dust, buried in slippery moss and deep water; which he brings into the present."
