When visiting a friend recently, her small child was playing with Wooden Shaped Building Blocks. The colours and shapes caught my imagination and resulted in this artwork; a harmonious composition characterized by its fluid symmetry and vibrant color palette. Colourful shapes, circles and lines intersect and converge, creating a dynamic yet cohesive structure. The lines guide the viewer's gaze across the artwork, seamlessly connecting the various elements. The blocks of color are thoughtfully arranged, each hue contributing to the overall harmony.
Together, these elements create a visually engaging experience that flows gracefully, inviting viewers to explore the balance and rhythm within the painting. The combination of circles, lines, and color blocks results in a pleasing aesthetic that is both structured and fluid, making it a captivating piece for any audience. A colourful and fun piece.
On stretched canvas, it is finished in a satin varnish (please note that all images are taken before the varnish to reduce reflection). It has a timber frame and the back of the canvas is professionally finished.
Note that insitu examples may not be to scale.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Susanne is a Gold Coast-based artist whose work transcends the ordinary, inviting viewers into a world where emotions and stories take precedence. By skillfully manipulating shapes and colors, she moves beyond mere representation, creating compositions that are both evocative and thought-provoking.
Her approach is deeply intentional, using stylized forms to distort the familiar and reveal a deeper essence. Each brushstroke is a deliberate choice, balancing abstraction with recognition to encourage interpretation and engagement. Rather than simply depicting reality, she seeks to elevate it, offering a fresh perspective on the everyday.
Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, Susanne seamlessly blends tradition with a touch of the avant-garde. Every canvas becomes an experiment—an exploration of perception, form, and feeling. Through her work, she challenges conventional ways of seeing, embracing the freedom that comes with artistic expression.
Rooted between the ocean and hinterland of Queensland’s Gold Coast, her surroundings provide a rich source of inspiration. This connection to nature and place subtly informs her palette and compositions, adding depth to her visual storytelling.
Ultimately, Susanne’s art is a celebration of stylization and its transformative power. By bridging the tangible and the intangible, she encourages contemplation, sparks conversation, and reminds us that beauty lies in perception—waiting to be discovered in every brushstroke.
