Susana Noriega

Susana Noriega Rivero (born 1952) is a Mexican avant-garde painter, whose work is located in the abstract expressionist and surrealist movements.

Biography
Noriega was born in Mexico City. She studied advertising and psychology, but in 1971, her artistic interests led her to attend the workshops of masters such as Raúl Anguiano and Rodolfo Nieto.

After her work was featured in a series of collective exhibitions, Noriega's first solo exhibition, in the Alliance Française at San Ángel in Mexico City, opened on April 27, 1979. According to a review in the Mexico City paper Novedades, the exhibition consisted of 38 graphite and mixed technique paintings, and the launch was attended by the Cultural Under-Secretary-General with the French Embassy, Patrick Abecasis. The exhibition ran until May 10.
