I love the process of creating a painting, with its diversity, uniqueness and tension, which makes it a big whole.
The Viennese artist Susanne Steffens came to painting more than 20 years ago and has since made it her greatest passion. Her first paintings were made with oil paints, but then she discovered watercolours, which also inspired her. Over the years, Susanne has completed a number of courses with well-known artists, for example she learned the basics of acrylic painting at VOKA in 2006.
In the meantime, Susanne Steffens has developed her own signature in art, whereby she still paints both acrylic/oil paintings and watercolors. Together with CheetahCraft worldart, she will now work on expanding her reach and her art all over the world to present to the world.

My early artistic beginnings showed me the way to oil paint and canvas and brought me closer to art. Fascinated by the color world, I have always expanded my zest for action in watercolor and acrylic, whereby my greatest passion is abstraction. I was able to perfect my style in numerous workshops: the spontaneous expression of feelings and moods really touched me. The courage to experiment with strong colors allowed me to immerse myself in new dimensions of painting. I have learned various techniques (filling, glazing, pouring) and working with a wide variety of materials (putty, cement, sand, ash, iron filings, etc.) and have refined it in a whole series of workshops over many years.
My positive attitude to life is also the mirror of my imagery. Looking at my artworks, you will always discover something new, and I dynamically use bold colors to make these discoveries possible. The creation of a painting is a process that requires a feel for colour, experience and patience, and I really enjoy it.
