Suzy Bila

Faces that hold the water’s memory

Suzy Bila’s watercolours distil the human face to its emotional essence — heads emerging from washes of burgundy, rose and deep blue, at once portrait and apparition. Her Reflexos series has made her one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Mozambican painting.

This forthcoming single-artist sale will present a curated group of her works on paper. Two watercolours are already at auction in Idasse & Friends: Colours of Mozambique.
