Biography: Rina Sutzkever was born in Moscow in 1945, in a home filled with the love of art and culture. Her father - the poet Abraham Sutzkever – was always surrounded with friends who were painters or sculptors, and Marc Chagal - a close friend - illustrated several of his works. Sutzkever’s first steps as a professional artist may be traced back to her work with the painter Nahum Gilboa. She continued working with painter Moshe Rozenthalis in his studio, where she developed a realistic style faithful to Nature.
Then came her first group exhibition in Yad-Labanim in Tel Aviv. Sutzkever went on to study sketching with Professor Schwartzman and participated in several more solo and group exhibitions, with her 1974 exhibition at ‘Leiweek Art Gallery receiving much attention from fellow artists and the public. There, she showed mostly portraits and still-lifes in intense dark colors, reminiscent of seventeenth-century Dutch painting. Sutzkever continued to perfect her style in the Tempera-Oil mixed technique at the ‘Earnest Fox School’ in Vienna. She then had her first international breakthrough with a solo exhibition in New York.
