Suzanne Larrieu

Like a portrait photographer, I create faces whose expression and setting tell a story, but unlike a photographer, my portraits are completely imaginary.

I like to model and then mold faces of all ethnicities in various materials with plastiline (a plastic material that does not dry out) so that they match what I want them to tell.

Drawing inspiration from current events that affect me is the nature of my work. The small daily tragedies as well as the major ones, gradually pushed into oblivion as soon as another catastrophe strikes.
