“The woman figure is for Stella Sujin both a body and soul. She gets very real in the representation of specific body parts and is also evanescent by the use of watercolors and poetic details. Animals like deers, birds or flowers are painted by Stella Sujin and represent a poetic dreamlike universe. Coming straight out of our dreams these elements contrasts with the jaws, collarbones, and other femurs that are also depicted. Everything is a paradox in her very feminine way of painting with watercolor. It is apparently so sweet but actually focuses on the contrasts of life.”
