Overview Entirely self-taught, Suellen's signature style incorporates female in surroundings of a twisted and disturbing world characterized by the use of symbolism, retro-futurism and dystopia, born from a high-detailed 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 pop surrealism and dark art imagery.
Her main characters are often captured in scenes where something sad is about to happen, as if they were trapped in a bad dream.
