A look inside the studio: When you enter Schuttelaar's studio, you are immediately surrounded by her impressive works. Life-size sculptures, paintings and portraits fill the space. Everything seems hidden or connected by a network of threads. It is a place where the investigation into what is hidden beneath the skin is central. Schuttelaar not only wants her art to look visually attractive, but also to bring something to the surface. It is a spatial, conceptual and intensive process in which she scrapes, untangles and confronts. She masters various genres, but her true passion lies in creating lifelike sculptures of human figures.
The story behind each work: For Schuttelaar, every individual is a source of inspiration. Every head and body has its own unique expression and past. With each work she tries to tell a story, based on her personal interpretation. People play a central role in her art. It goes beyond a simple portrait; it is an attempt to bring the inner self of the person portrayed to life. Her art is more than just a visual representation; it is a challenge to make and often a long and physically exhausting process. Schuttelaar constantly challenges herself to make art that has a deeper meaning and touches the viewer.
An impressive resume: Suzan Schuttelaar has exhibited her artworks at various locations in the Netherlands and abroad. Her work has been on display at the Museum Gouda, where she even won the audience award. She has also participated in group exhibitions and solo exhibitions in renowned galleries and museums. Her art has received recognition from both the public and the art community. She also participated twice in the television program `Sterren op het doek` and Huub Stapel and Tjitske Reidinga chose her portrait.
Education The evolution of her work: Schuttelaar's artistic journey began with her education at the Grafisch Lyceum in Utrecht. She then successfully completed the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, where she found her place. During her career, she has developed from a painter who worked according to classical principles to an artist who goes her own way. Her work is a fusion of classical painting principles and the loose touch of impressionism. She has left the flat surface behind and has evolved into spatial art. With her life-size papier-mâché sculptures, she often combines painting and sculpture.to

Sophia Loren - Cherish it - Textural Oil Painting and Image Immersed in Text
By Christina Major
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Christina Major’s "Sophia Loren - Cherish It" is a captivating contemporary portrait that merges hyperrealistic portraiture with layered text, creating a dynamic fusion of depth, emotion, and storytelling. This 49 x 49-inch original painting masterfully captures the timeless beauty of Sophia Loren, with her piercing gaze and luminous complexion enhanced by the artist’s meticulous brushwork. Overlapping layers of hand-painted script weave through the portrait, adding texture and meaning, reflecting themes of wisdom, self-love, and femininity. The interplay of soft pastels and bold contrasts makes this artwork a statement piece for collectors drawn to modern figurative painting, celebrity portraiture, and mixed-media techniques.
Christina Major is a portrait painter interested in the ways the identity of both artist and subject can coexist in a painting. Major's current creative research focuses on the traditional form of the portrait as a powerful form of representing an individual and how meaning can be expanded through scale, brushstroke, color, texture, composition, and the many variables that portraiture deals with.
This one-of-a-kind oil painting is signed by Major on the back. The artwork is wired and ready to hang. It does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and International shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
