Some artists arrive with a concept. Catharina Suleiman arrives with a life already lived, and her work carries that weight. Born in São Paulo in 1977, raised by women, and shaped by both urban environments and nature, her path into art didn’t begin in a studio. It began much earlier, through experience, movement, and responsibility.
She became a mother in her teens and spent her twenties raising her child alone, while moving across South America, Asia, Europe, and the United States. It wasn’t until her mid-thirties that she began formally studying art, including alternative and historical photography at Central Saint Martins in London and graphic processes in Havana. But by then, she wasn’t searching for direction, she was giving structure to something that had been forming for years.
