Susanne Tabet creates paintings that portray women as individuals with their own agency and experiences, challenging traditional perspectives in art and culture.
Inspired by the Abstract Expressionists, Tabet experiments with a diverse and unconventional color palette to evoke various moods and emotions. Her intention is to amplify the female voice through unapologetically bold colors and dynamic compositions. In her paintings, the subjects often gaze back at the viewer, embodying strength, courage, and autonomy.
The act of painting itself holds significant importance in Tabet’s practice. She applies spontaneous brushstrokes, building up layers of paint to create a tactile and visually engaging surface that exudes texture and depth. The final works often border on abstraction, incorporating undefined elements that invite diverse perspectives and reject prescriptive, fixed meanings. She hopes this approach enables viewers to engage with her paintings, fostering a connection that is personal and meaningful.
