Meet Sina Sutter, a known Orlando artist who’s been featured in exhibits and panels all around the nation. A Cuban-American woman, Sutter brilliantly utilizes the stunning landscapes of Cuba and Florida in her work. Get to know a little bit more about our October artist and enjoy her rich and colorful pinturas in this short interview with Nonahood News.
Nonahood News: What drove you to become an artist?
Sina Sutter: My love for nature and all living things.
NHN: When did you realize creating art was your passion?
SS: When I was 7 years old.
NHN: How often do you find yourself creating art?
SS: All the time! My life revolves around art and creativity.
NHN: How long did it take you to discover yourself as an artist?
SS: Art is not something that you measure. In my perception, it is something that you feel in your soul. You just know it.
NHN: Which of your projects would you consider to be your favorite?
SS: Well, each one has a flavor of its own. It’s hard to tell, due to the complexity of the piece.
NHN: Which of your projects were the most time-consuming/challenging and why?
SS: When I work, I don’t think or look at the time. I put all my passion in my art, in my creation. However, “UNIDOS EN UN MISMO RITMO” took a great amount of time. But when I developed the watercolor on double canvas with hand cut glass, that was extremely exciting and fulfilling because the experience was deep and magical. The creation of 3D effects and the contrast of the light and shapes were fantastic. Very stimulating and gratifying as well as challenging.
NHN: What are some of your dream projects?
SS: To be able to produce a center for art where the artists, including myself, can work, display and sell their work in harmony at a weatherproof building.
NHN: What serves as your inspiration on a day-to-day basis?
SS: Life itself and the ocean – the strength, the beauty, and the love.
NHN: Future goals/plans?
SS: The creation of a series with the universe and evolution of humanity.
