Every book an adventure.
The children's book illustrator Susanne Janssen

With her fairy tale illustrations and most recent pictures of Greek legends, Susanne Janssen is an important picture book illustrator of international standing. Every one of her books is an adventure: for the artist as well as for her readers.

With her book projects, Susanne Janssen is constantly exploring new territory by means of drawing, painting, collages and the frequent addition of autobiographical references. Her pictures are natural, challenging and personal. With extreme perspectives and bold compositions she transports the observer into the inner worlds of the literary figures, rather like a playwright with a pencil and a paintbrush.
