Painting Don't leave me behind by Lastrina Suzanne | Painting Naive art Portrait Acrylic

Suzanne fell in love with making art when she was a little girl and has always felt the need to express her emotions in the form of drawing and painting. However, when she was a teenager, she was strongly encouraged to undertake a professional path that took her away from making art; and even though she was able to find a job and to have a family that met her expectations, she continued to feel frustrated. She began to have the same dream over and over again during a long period of time until she finally picked up her paintbrushes again in 1985 and never put them down again. Suzanne thrives in the pursuit of expressing herself artistically as it feeds her soul and spirit. Delicately sketched, her figures, which are as atypical as they are poetic, seem to belong to another world or to have hopped right out of a storybook or a book of legends.
