In bold, shimmering hues and kaleidoscopic compositions, Edith Suchodrew's digital works envelop the viewer in elaborate systems of colour and shape. Fluid and luminous, her computer-generated images experiment with reflections and symmetry, representation and the disintegration of reality. Through these nebulous compositions, the artist strives to express a poignancy of emotion, a sense of freedom, and the "fragility of the soul." Born in Eupatoria in the former USSR, Suchodrew graduated from the Latvian Academy of Arts in 1981. Suchodrew's diverse visual vocabulary betrays a familiarity with various artistic mediums, ranging from traditional disciplines such as printmaking and figurative oil and watercolour painting, to contemporary media such as graphic design and animation. Edith Suchodrew has exhibited her oils, watercolors, and graphic works throughout World, winning numerous prizes and prestigious awards.
Suchodrew has participated in more than 380 exhibitions internationally and 67 personal exhibitions, and her compositions are owned by museums and private collections worldwide. A member of the Artist Union of the USSR and Latvia and Art Addiction Medial Art Association (AAMAA), she live in Aachen, Germany, since 1991.
