With a background in painting, fashion design, illustration and music, Susanne Deeken explores the language of such disciplines to create abody of work of anti-realistic animated films.

Her relationship to any one single discipline is in fact intrinsically interconnected to one another with a fluidity and effortlessness which gives her aesthetic a distinctive and original voice.

Combining traditional analogue techniques with digital tools, she draws from and expands on a broad archive of her own paintings, drawings, and collages, creating surreal animated films set in worlds of imaginary dream-like surroundings.

She lives and works in London.
