SUZANNE LOPATA / FR 

Born in 1932 in Paris to a family of milliners who were victims of the deportations, Suzanne Lopata began professional training in sewing in 1948. But her passion for drawing and painting pushed her to go against her mother’s advice and to devote herself entirely to painting while holding various small jobs. In 1958, she met Jürg Kreienbühl, a realist painter who distinguished himself among others by his paintings of the Parisian suburbs, and gave birth to Stéphane Belzère, also a painter. In 2018 Kunsthaus Interlaken presented a group show with works by Suzanne Lopata, Jürg Kreienbühl and Stéphane Belzère. Between 1972 and 1980 Lopatas works have been exhibited in various galleries in Switzerland. Her lates show was at Chateau Lamazière in France 2022. Suzanna Lopata died in 2023 in France, since then her son Stéphane Belzere takes care of her artwork.
