Lorien Suarez

"My love for the beauty of color, geometry and nature is at the core of my artwork. While I am in the moment of creating art, I am open to a process of discovery that is intensely fulfilling."

Inspired by fundamental principles of geometry and biomorphic references found in nature, Lorien Suarez creates paintings with a dynamic interplay of color, light and form. The artist builds multiple layers of elaborate designs that emerge from an underlying matrix to create a strong sensation of growth, movement and depth.

Working much larger in scale than most watercolorists (often 5' -7' paintings), Suarez utilizes a combination of transparent watercolor and acrylic painting on paper. Her limited edition prints are made from the highest quality archival papers and inks available.

Suarez's multinational background and diverse academic pursuits have provided her with the inspiration and tools that define her artistic style and career. Her love for art began during her childhood years in Venezuela. She graduated with honors both at UC Berkeley for her BA, later at KU Leuven, Belgium for her MA, and she also did extensive graduate work in Spain. The artist now lives in Southern California.
