Suzanne Levesque (born 1983) is an American painter whose work explores themes of time, consciousness and perception. She is known for emotionally charged imagery and tactile surfaces. She lives and works between Berlin, Vienna, and New York City.
Early life and education
Suzanne Levesque was born in Luxembourg and raised between the US and Germany. She began drawing at a young age, naming Sally Mann as having a profound influence on her early artistic development[1] . From 2006 to 2012, she attended the Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Hamburg (HAW Hamburg), earning a diploma in painting with distinction. During her studies, she received grants from HAW. Between 2009 and 2010, Levesque studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore on a DAAD scholarship.[2]

Critical reception
Levesque has received positive reviews for her psychologically evocative visual language. In a 2025 Whitehot Magazine review of Haut, Haare, Holz, the New Yorker critic David Jager described her paintings as "murky reservoirs where fragments of memory and figuration float up from the depths and into view." He emphasized her use of sooty palettes and stitched material as an effective metaphor for the fragility of the human psyche.[12]
Her work was also highlighted in KID-IN Magazine in which Larissa Zaharuk views her paintings "unorthodox conceptualizations of childhood"[1]
