Suvi Malek

b. 1984 Berlin, Germany

a Moment of life lived through the eyes of a child in the changing Berlin of the 80s, then life continued in Finland in the Tampere region. Art studies eventually took me to Barcelona. The center of my art is the depiction of disappearing innocence and childlike carelessness. My work focuses on recording sensitive and momentary moments and my effort is to bring out the beauty and fragility of life.
