Artist Suzana Stojanovic Suza was born in Vranje, a small town in southern Serbia, on April 18, 1969. She comes from a family of intellectuals - her mother does writing and, apart from a few works of fiction, many of her textbooks on language and literature have been published. Being surrounded with books from the earliest days of her life, Suzana started reading and painting when she was four. The early period of her artistic work lasted till 1988. During that period, she tried her skill at different fields and left behind hundreds of art works. She studied painting skills of the Old Masters and different techniques ( pencil on paper, watercolour, pastel, oil on canvas, mosaic, encaustics, iconography, sculpture and engraving ). She participated in many group exhibitions and art colonies as well. Apart from being the winner of numerous prestige awards, she has also won wide social and international recognition for her artistic work. She finished High school of mathematics and technical science and participated in numerous maths, physics and literature competitions, achieving outstanding results. She thoroughly studied astronomy and acquired enviable knowledge in this field. The same year she finished High school of mathematics and technical science, Suzana also finished High school of music, specializing in the violin. She participated in many music contests, festivals and music ceremonies. She composed her first composition when she was fifteen years old. Having finished High school of music, she studied literature and continued perfecting playing the piano. She spent thousands of hours listening to Mozart, Bach and Beethoven and reading and studying the works of the world's most famous writers. However, painting has always been her greatest love. Suzana's return into the art scene after thirteen years was marked by "The Magical World of Horses" series in 2001. and several solo exhibitions throughout Serbia. Many of her paintings are to be found in private collections in Serbia, the USA, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Macedonia, Montenegro and Slovenia. Presently, Suzana lives and works in Nis, paints horses and thoroughly studies the horse anatomy; she writes short stories and is preparing for the advanced studies at the Academy of Art. She is also working on a book about art called "Following the steps of the Old Masters", in which she describes in detail not only her long-lasting experience, experiments and various techniques, but also doing drawings and painting paintings. She dedicates a story to each of her paintings, and her dream is to compose again some day and make animated films...
