Rina Sutzkever was born in Moscow in 1945 in a home infused with the love of culture. Her first steps as a professional artist can be traced to her work with the artist Nahum Gilboa. Later she continued working with Moshe Rozentalis and then studied sketching with Prof. Shwartzman. Sutzkever has gradually perfected her style with help of the tempera oil mixed technique, which she learned at Earnest Fux's school in Vienna. Many well-known artists, such as Mordechai Ardon, as well as prominent people such as Mr. Shimon Peres, Israel's former Prime Minaster, admire her paintings. Mr. Shimon Peres signed the visitors book at one of Sutzkever's exhibitions expressing his appreciation in the followings words: "an unexpected rich talent, a rare combination of feminine sensitivity and true technique, a clever reflection of shadows and imagination, a fusion of arrogance and delicacy".
