Nathália Suellen


Nathália Suellen is a surrealist digital artist and commercial illustrator from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Overview

Entirely self-taught, Suellen's signature style incorporates female in surroundings of a twisted and disturbing world characterized by the use of symbolism, retro-futurism and dystopia, born from a high-detailed mixture of photography, 3D and digital painting.
The themes of her work include self-discovery, sorrow, dreams/nightmares, fear of unknown, mortality, femininity and the juxtaposition of the pop surrealism and dark art imagery.
Her main characters are often captured in scenes where something sad is about to happen, as if they were trapped in a bad dream.
"Cinematic Styled Artist", as labeled by the British in 2012, Suellen developed her unique style and technique by creating photo collage that result from a combination of commercial lighting and digital painting, tending to have a cinematic finish with each new work.
Nathália started her own business in 2008, specializing in dark art, cover design and photo manipulation.
Despite her personal illustrations, Nathália is mostly known by her commercial works and a notable clientele list which consists of musicians, photographers, best-selling writers as well as major companies including Random House, Penguin Group, Harper Collins, Simon & Schuster,McCann Erickson, Scholastic and Harry N. Abrams Books.
