About the artist:

Maria Suchilina was born in Moscow in 1961. After successful finishing of Art School in 1975 and a short break, connected with the work as an artist-illustrator of books and magazines, she entered Moscow Art School in the Memory of 1905, the painting faculty. After its graduation in 1985 the artist participates in many home and foreign exhibitions. For a relatively short period of time M. Suchilina became famous. Being exhibited her paintings were bought not only by private collectors but also by famous galleries of Western Europe. The most part of her works are in private collections in Belgium, Germany, Austria, France and Finland. As an artist M. Suchilina has elaborated an amazingly interesting style of symbolicial conception, enriched both by an outside and inside world. Besides the inside world has become the main object of her artistic comprehension. The relations of an artist with the reality turned out to be absolutely different. The world of phenomena has become the object not for knowledge but for overcoming. A generalized drawing, an underlined linear outline of figures and objects, a symbolism of a general line side by side with a lot of concrete details-all this can be defined as a new style. The essence of Maria Suchilina's style can be found in symbolism, modernism and in other styles which became classical many years ago. lt shows us the aspiration of the artist to use their achievements. The paintings of the artist are rich in semantic connections which are worth considering and analysing.
