Edith Suchodrew
L
atvian artist Edith Suchodrew possesses a spirit of invention and exploration in the field of art. Her artistic progression has seen watercolor and oil paintings, etchings and lithographs, animation, illustration, and graphic design. She has taught art and organized more than 60 of her own exhibitions.
This hard-working artist found her unique vision by responding to the voice of nature through her study of landscapes and scenes of woodlands. Suchodrew has studied ancient cultures, both near and far, and explores themes of joy and tragedy in her art, but it is through the medium of "computer graphic painting," that her artistic vision finds full realization.
The radiant "Mystic Grotto" employs polished computer graphics containing brilliant color and light. This is a joyous reverie of neon pinks, deep blues and sinuous forms all radiating from a gleaming central star. A host of natural phenomena are suggested in the image, yet it remains altogether abstract and open to viewer interpretation.
Suchodrew's characteristic use of color and form expresses hope and triumph. Other works are more representational, yet remain nearly architectural in form suggesting an influence from Buddhist mandalas. Her work is highly sought after, having participated in more than 310 exhibitions, Suchodrew's work can be found in a variety of museums and private collections. Suchodrew lives and works in Aachen, Germany.
