This picture can be interpreted in hundreds of ways. So, what do you see?

Welcome to Mamamia’s art endeavour, the Voulez-Vous Project. Every week we celebrate emerging artists, designers, illustrators, creators and women who knit using their vaginas. (Kidding. Maybe.) Our aim: to help the internet become a slightly more beautiful, captivating, or thought-provoking place by making art accessible.

Some people are born with an artistic bone in their body, a creative side that sees them immediately appreciate art for the beauty within a piece.

Others? Not so much. They may stare at the same piece as an artistic person and just not… get it. But undeniably, everyone can see when a piece of art has been created with passion. It’s your interpretation of it that varies, person to person.

Susie Bevan’s artwork is all about interpretation.

She loves to paint large, abstract images and let the viewers decide what she means.

“Each of my abstract paintings has 4 wires on the back, so the viewer can hang the painting whichever orientation appeals to them. They also then have the option of changing the orientation whenever they feel like it – just like having a new painting,” Susie told Mamamia.

The artist was born in Nigeria and now lives in Melbourne. She’s fascinated by nature, but not in the typical sense.

“I have a passion for insects, even the so called ugly, dirty ones, like cockroaches. My favourite insects are weevils and I even have a weevil tattooed on my shoulder. In a way, insects are my muse.”

While Susie hasn’t had any formal training in art, it doesn’t show in the slightest. She spent her days as a child putting her creative streak to good use.

“I always remember being crafty, making things for gifts, drawing.”

Susie is always inspired. From when she wakes up, surrounded by nature, invigorated by life – her curiosity keeps her going.

“The feeling of being in the moment of the painting, the creating. Feeling excited like a little girl opening her birthday present, when I mix the paint, watch it swirl and blend together. Seeing the different images, figures and creatures, that come to life in my painting… It all inspires me.”
