On one of his visits to Israel, Marc Chagal said to Rina Sutzkever, "... your father painted in words, and you write in colors..."
In her recent artworks, Sutzkever combines fantasy, imagination and the luster of reflection. Worldly objects intervene and penetrate one another, simultaneously dispersing and vanishing in the universe like a dream.
Rina Sutzkever was born in Moscow in 1945, in a home filled with the love of art and culture. Her father, Abraham Sutzkever was a famous poet and personal friend of Marc Chagal, who illustrated several of his works. Rina immigrated to Israel with her family in 1948. Sutzkever's first steps as a professional artist began with her work with painter Nahum Gilboa. She continued working with painter Moshe Rozenthalis in his studio, where she developed a realistic style faithful to nature.
Many well-known artists, such as Mordechai Ardon, as well as prominent figures such as Mr. Shimon Peres, Israel's former Prime Minister admire her paintings. Her work has been exhibited throughout Israel and internationally in New York, London, Brussels, and more.
