Career
Entirely self-taught, Suellen"s signature style incorporates female in surroundings of a twisted and disturbing dreamlike world characterized by the use of dark/macabre elements, surreal concepts, haunting sceneries and otherworldly creatures done through a mixture of photography, 3D and digital painting. The themes of her work include self-discovery, sorrow, dreams/nightmares, fear of unknown, mortality, femininity and the juxtaposition of the gothic surrealism and fantasy imagery. “Cinematic Styled Artist”, as labeled by the BritishAdvanced Photoshop magazine in 2012, Suellen developed her unique style and technique by creating photo collage that result from a combination of commercial lighting and digital painting, tending to have a cinematic finish with each new work.
A special interest in imaginative movies and also a huge influence of her own culture (Brazil) led her to adopt a different kind of Dark Art with more bright and vibrant colors, combined with cultural depictions of folklore and influences from Brazilian Carnival costumes.
