Zsuzsa Moizer graduated from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 2004, majoring in painting. She gained wide recognition with the drawing activity book titled “Everyone can draw” published in 2012 (together with Zsófia Barabás), which was translated into several languages. She has also participated in residencies in Rome (Collegium Hungaricum) and Vienna (Alte Schmiede Kunstverein). She currently lives and works in Germany and in Budapest.
Zsuzsa Moizer is mainly known for her aquarelles and oil paintings, but she also creates sculptures and installations. In her works she explores various themes of femininity (intimacy, sensuality, sexuality) and the cycle of life and death. Her career began with a series of self-portraits, and gradually her work became more and more saturated with content. In her work, she returns to self-portrayal, and in her series of self-portraits the stereotypical qualities associated with femininity (sacrifice, care, fertility) take form. In her subdued colour images, the search for identity, and the issue of gender roles unfold. In her oil paintings, the expressivity and intuitive character of aquarelles is combined with the honesty of self-portraits, where she also allows room for the formative role of random compositions. She usually depicts faces and bodies each with different painterly attention, creating a tension between the figurative and the abstract details, those that are shown and those that lie behind the surface. Her paintings, which allow a glimpse into the personal, intimate sphere of the artist, can be interpreted as inner landscapes, tracing the creases of the soul, the depths and heights of emotion.
