SG / Artist Name: Sucette, but I usually use Miss Sucette as my artist name.

Mission Statement: I began to draw when I was a cute lil’ girl. My father is an artist as well. I admired him and I wanted to draw like him. I spent all my childhood drawing, and I never let it go. It's something that has come naturaly to me since I was a child. I just can't live without art.

I grew up surrounded by old horror movies (the kind of movies where the car always broke down in the middle of nowhere...) and old cartoons. As a result, I began to create my own world, my own stories. Painting was just a result for me of an overflowing imagination, a way to exorcize my childhood fears.

With my own universe, I create art to propel you in a fantastic world and to talk about what I like the most. Animals, nature, science, and symbolism are central themes for my work. Through my paintings, I contemplate life, death, evolution, technology, loss of innocence, cruelty, and more. The messages I deliver are often tragic. I don't like to show only what is good in the world. I want you to think about what's wrong with us, what's wrong in our world.





Medium: The majority of my work is oil painting, but I like to use graphite and charcoal as well. My latest drawings are mostly done with those mediums.

Aesthetic: Renaissance, Flemish Art, Art Nouveau.

Notable Achievements: I’ve been fortunate to show my work in many galleries in Europe and lately I’ve been involved in a group show at the Miles Gallery in London. I'm now working on new paintings and thinking about some future shows.

Why We Should Care: Art is essential, no matter whether it brings a positive or a negative message. I want to share my art, but I also want to deliver messages through my work that are dear to me and important. Art is an excellent way to communicate. I express myself through art, it's natural and essential to me.

Technique is really important for me as well. I try to preserve the techniques of the great painters from Renaissance when I paint with oils. I make everything by myself, the medium, the varnish, etc. It takes me more time, but it is important to me, and for the public as well. The technique is essential.

I Want Me Some: Some drawings and paintings are available via my website, or my Facebook page. You can also see my work on my SG blog and message me via the site.
