The Curious Works of Susanna Pantas

At times bordering on fantasy, the works of Susanna Pantas are as detailed as they are intriguing. Her focus is often on singular items that might otherwise be overlooked. She brings out the fine detail and patterns found in natural items; items that one might have expected to find in a curiosities cabinet of a noblemen during 15th or 16th centuries. But it is not just the subject matter that make her paintings exceptional. Pantas' workmanship is phenomenal. Her ability to render what she sees in front of her and create it on a canvas, with such vibrancy, is what truly makes her works special.
