Susann Brox Nilsen

Susann Brox Nilsen is a self-taught artist from Tromsø, Norway.

From the very first time Susann Brox Nilsen painted, it was obvious to her that she had found her big passion.It was Susann Brox Nilsen's mother who also is a great artist, that encouraged Susann to grab the paintbrush.Susann Brox Nilsen has been drawing since she was able to hold a pencil, everything from cartoons to fashion, but she didn't really think she could paint at all.

At the age of 24 Susann Brox Nilsen was challenged to paint her very first painting at a friend's request. From that point on a wheel started spinning and Susann Brox Nilsen quickly developed her very own style.


Susann Brox Nilsen paints with oil and can easily spend hours and days at a time on one piece. Susann's inspiration comes from surrealism and her favorite artist is Mark Ryden.Anything that breaks away from reality attracts her attention.


Susann Brox Nilsen paints a lot of self-portraits.Some of her paintings reveal how she feels inside at the time.The eyes are very central in her work, since the eyes are the mirror of the soul.


A common thing Susann hears from people is that her paintings are beautiful but sad and filled with hurt. Many are but she uses a lot of happy colors despite the dark subject.


At the present time Susann Brox Nilsen has her art hanging in galleries in Tromsø,Norway.
Two were solo exhibitions, and two exhibitions were group shows.


Susann Brox Nilsen's future plan is to get her work out to the rest of the world. She also plans to apply for a school that teaches art therapy. Stay tuned for more artwork by Susann Brox Nilsen.
