SUTO MIKLOS

Member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine (2012).

He was born on 21 July 1957 in Mukachevo, Transcarpathia. In 1984, he graduated from the Faculty of History of Uzhhorod National University. For many years he worked as a designer. He has been always fond of the outstanding Transcarpathian classical artists – Yosyp Bokshai, Adalbert Erdeli, Volodymyr Mykyta, Ivan Shutiev. 

Works in the field of easel realistic painting. In art, he is guided by the principles of the founders of the Transcarpathian school. His favourite genre is a traditional landscape – the artist travels around his native land, looking for new impressions and bright sceneries. The base of his works is a living, emotional and painting experience from the meeting with nature, a sincere admiration for the variety of its colours and beauty. One of the favourite topics – a generalized image of the flourishing nature.

In addition to landscapes, the artist also admires contemporary art. "Life moves very fast," M. Suto told at one of his last solo exhibitions. “I try to keep up with time, to do something contemporary. I developed my own unique style, which I implement with a special technique. A lot of artists are experimenting today. If you paint the same thing every day, then it's not very interesting. In addition, I'm constantly in a constant search, I think, I will be searching for a long time."

Since 1998, he has been working as a director of the Uzhhorod Art Gallery of the Transcarpathian Organization of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. From 2003 to 2008, he was the Head of the city creative association "Colours of the Carpathians". Since 2009 – Deputy Head of the Property Fund of the Transcarpathian Organization of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. 

Since 1975, he has participated in numerous city, regional, republican, foreign art exhibitions and plein airs. In 1977, he held his first personal exhibition at the House of Officers in Mukachevo. He is the author of personal exhibitions in Kiswarda (Hungary, 1980), Uzhhorod (1997, 2017).

A lot of the artist’s works are in private collections of Australia, the USA, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, and Russia.
