▪ A SPARKLE IN THE EYES OF SUZANA'S
HORSES (B. Janacković, Newspaper "Blic", 2002.)
The horse portraits painted by Suzana
Stojanović (32), the artist from Niš, are magnificently real. They are
magnificent not because the spatial, third dimension can be noticed almost
immediately in these hyperreal paintings, but because of the warmth coming out
of each painting - from the eyes of these noble four-legged animals, that,
according to the legend, the Almighty made out of a gust of wind. As if it was
alive...- an amazed young art lover said as he was standing for a couple of
minutes with his eyes wide open in front of the portrait of a bay horse with
bulging hindquarters, which was captured skillfully at a full gallop, waiting
for it to make the next move. And the young painter, also a graduate student of
literature, made her first moves with the paintbrush when she was four. Her
indisputable talent was proven when she won an international award while
attending the sixth grade of primary school. From then on, she paints oils on
canvas (realism only), and up to now she has painted more than 250 paintings
with nature and rural motives, portraits of people...Now, she is exclusively
painting horses. There's an entire horse herd on the walls of a small
living-room - 20 exquisite portraits of black horses, Lipizzaner horses, Arabian
horses and ponies...

▪ SJAJ U OKU SUZANINIH KONJA (B. Janacković,"Blic", 2002.)
Čudesno su stvarni portreti konja niške slikarke Suzane Stojanović (32). Čudesno, ne zbog toga što se u slikama, urađenim u maniru visokog realizma, gotovo jasno može nazreti prostorna, treća dimenzija, već zbog topline koja izvire iz svake slike, iz očiju plemenitih četvoronozaca, koje je, kako propoveda legenda, Bog stvorio od vetra.
- Kao da je živ...- izusti jedan očarani, mladi posetilac dok je kao skamenjen nekoliko minuta, širom otvorenih očiju, stajao pred portretom dorata nabreklih sapi, vešto uhvaćenog u trku, čekajuci da načini sledeći pokret.
A mlada slikarka, inače apsolvent književnosti, prve poteze četkicom načinila je još sa četiri godine. Nesumnjivi talenat potvrđen je priznanjem osvojenim na međunarodnom konkursu u šestom razredu osnovne skole. Od tada radi ulje na platnu, isključivo realizam, i do sada iza sebe ima oko 250 slika: seoskih motiva i prirode, portreta ljudi...Sada slika isključivo konje. U malenoj dnevnoj sobi na zidovima je cela ergela - 20 volšebnih portreta vranaca, lipicanera, arabera, ponija...
