The Artist

“My adult life living and working in London I have mostly felt like a visitor observing a foreign culture, only to learn that this experience is immediately reciprocated by everyone around you.

London is a melting pot of cultural Diaspora all searching to belong and find their own comfortable position within society. Quite similar to my birthplace Paramaribo, but with a different intention."

 

Roselind Hunsel was born and raised in Paramaribo, Suriname to a Surinamese father and Dutch mother and has been living and working in London since 1985.

​

She studied Fashion design at The American College in Los Angeles in 1983 and in London in 1985.

After working as a pattern cutter and costume designer in London she continued her Fashion design studies at Kent State university in Ohio USA in the mid-nineties.

​

Back in London, she had several career changes to juggle life's priorities as a working mum and since 2014, has come back full circle to her default setting off visual artistic expression.

​

She returned to education between 2014-2019 at City Lit London to rediscover her art practice and completed the 2-year CLFA course.
