Sissi Schupp | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

For Sissi Shupp, painting is life! Born in 1948 in Vienna, Austria into a family interested in art, she quickly realized she had a special relationship with contemporary art. At a very young age, and as a reflection of her favourite artist, the French Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901), she drew and painted a lot before a romantic encounter, an equally early marriage and the birth of four children put a parenthesis around her vocation as an artist. Then the desire to create returned to her thirty years later. While she did not go to university, she attended the summer International Fine Arts Academy in Salzburg (Austria), which allowed her to hone her skills at a high level. She was able to develop internationally and visited the Zhou Brothers Art Gallery (Chicago) and worked with Jacobo Borges, an artist from Venezuela. These were defining moments in her artistic career.\n
