Artist Statement

Angela Susini’s artistic practice draws deeply from Japanese minimalism, with a focus on tranquillity, mindfulness, and emotional clarity. Her series Nebula, created for the BMW collaboration, consists of gouache on raw canvas. The recurring motif of “bubbles” represents the protective, creative spaces she cultivates—offering serenity and escape from the overstimulation of contemporary life.

Her work is a reflection of internal preservation—spaces where imagination and aesthetic values are shielded from the relentless pace of digital culture, social media narcissism, and media fear-mongering. Through her art, Angela aims to inspire others to find their own “safe space”—a sanctuary to restore balance and peace of mind.

In Onsen, the latest art-project/ collection of works—named after the Japanese bathhouse tradition—Angela explored the principles of Feng Shui: balance, order, and peace. Her current series, Paint, Paper, Fibre, continues this meditative thread through elemental materials and textures. She works with gouache, ink, pigment, Japanese brushes, matcha whisks, natural fabrics, handmade papers, and raw canvas. The minimalism of her shapes—dots, lines, strokes—is intentional, inviting calm and contemplation.

Each work is one-of-a-kind, created in a singular moment and never replicated. This ethos aligns with her belief in art as a living energy—intimately tied to the time, mood, and space of its creation. Her practice is deeply rooted in the emotional impact of colour, texture, and material harmony.

Angela Susini’s artistic practice is rooted in Japanese minimalism, with a focus on tranquillity, mindfulness, and emotional harmony. Through her meditative process, she creates environments that offer refuge from the overstimulation of modern life—spaces of introspection and restoration.

Her recent and ongoing project, Forest Bathing, is a collection of works designed for a sensory experience—inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, which translates to "taking in the forest atmosphere." This new body of work invites viewers to reconnect with nature through visual stillness, gentle colour palettes, and tactile materials. Through minimal forms, layered textures, and earthy tones, Susini creates an immersive atmosphere that soothes the senses and encourages presence.

This project continues her exploration of art as a healing practice—a visual sanctuary. By employing natural materials such as handmade papers, raw canvas, fabric, and organic pigments, and tools like Japanese brushes and matcha whisks, each work offers a grounded, elemental experience. Forest Bathing aims not only to be viewed but felt—a reminder of the restorative power of quiet beauty.

Each piece is entirely original, born from a specific moment, never duplicated—reflecting her belief that singular artworks carry a unique emotional and energetic imprint.

Angela’s goal is to create artwork that supports mental wellbeing and emotional clarity, transforming interiors into sacred spaces for rest, reflection, and recovery.

Angela Susini’s mission is to contribute to mental well-being through art and sensory events.
