Onigiri Painting

Angela Susini was born in Florence, Italy and grew up surrounded by Renaissance art. After winning a scholarship, she attended the iconic and famously exclusive Opificio delle Pietre Dure of Florence (which notoriously only accepts less than a handful of students every few years), obtaining a degree in paper conservation and restoration of Cultural Heritage Art from the Italian Ministry of Culture. After receiving her degree, Susini went on to work on restoring a variety of precious masterpieces such as preparatory drawings of Italian masters for Fresco paintings, ancient globes on parchment, hand-painted wallpapers, fashion drawings, and Leonardo Da Vinci’s Resta Code. Moving on from her background in restoration, Susini evolved into an abstract contemporary artist. After having lived in Florence, the Tuscan countryside, Japan, Paris, and London, she is now based in Brighton & Hove. Aside from gracing cafes and restaurants such as Kusaki in Brighton, Susini's art has appeared on high-profile television shows such as Netflix's You. Among her most notable collaborations is an art and textile design collection with BMW, where she contributed her art to a clothing collection. Represented by the Return on Art Gallery, Susini is currently preparing to exhibit at the Holy Art Fair and other projects in London.
