Suny Jacob

Suny Jacob is an Indo-Canadian painter who works across mediums and styles. Jacob is firm believer that art is not meant to be a field of comfort. In her mentoring program, she often tells young artists that “an Artist should be in a constant state of curiosity and exploration; exploring new styles, colours, and inspiration.”

Immigrating to Canada in the 80’s, Jacob has always loved the Canadian landscape, which is vastly different from her ancestral home in Kerala, India. She began travelling throughout Canada, appreciating the numerous national parks. As she traveled, she created a collection of paintings and sketches. Her landscape paintings are frequently characterized as impressionist realism, combining lush brush strokes with vivid colour.

Over the last few years, Jacob has been exploring abstract art. She is fascinated by its ability to be a vehicle that illustrates the diversity of ways in which the human experience manifests. This work continues to display her love for colour and her playful, but assertive brush strokes.
