Susana is a Colombian artist, currently located in New York. She specializes in figurative art and her medium of choice is oil paint.
In Addition to her work in the visual arts, Susana is also an actor trained at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting and the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, and most recently got her bachelor’s in fine arts from NYU. Her life-long passions for theater and visual arts have been a collaborative source of inspiration for Susana, who owes her perspective as a painter to the theater, and conversely her perspective as an actor to the visual arts.
In her paintings, Susana focuses on the emotional life or her figures rather than a realistic rendering of them; her goal is to convey heightened emotions through the stage of human life. Through vivid colors and visible brushstrokes Susana wishes to emphasize the constant motion of feelings, desires, and needs within ourselves; fickle, ever-changing, and moment to moment.
