Susana Guardiola

A mark of a talented artist is when their work can call directly to the viewer's soul, but few artists can paint someone's true spirit. One of these rare artists is Susana Guardiola, whose sensitive and perceptive eye is able to look deeply into the soul of another and conjure an image which relates that individual's true self with uncanny clarity.  Selecting elements from the natural landscape: trees, flowers and plant life, Guardiola creates a beautiful and colorful image of the spirit. A single bloom, centrally placed in the canvas climbs up the surface to represent a single person, while a field of flowers might symbolize a group of individuals.  Guardiola often paints commissioned soul portraits from photographs, but other works, realized from the artist's own mind, find their true owners later; their spiritual, almost supernatural energy calling forth to viewers with an emotional intensity. 

Susana Guardiola has exhibited her work throughout Europe and her paintings are included in numerous private collections.  The artist lives and works in Zaragoza, Spain.
