Painting Vélo bleu by De Joantho Isabelle | Painting Raw art Portrait

Isabelle was born in Montreuil in 1963. Of all the modes of expression, it is in painting and sculpture she has always felt most comfortable. She therefore attended ten years of classes at the Bayonne-Anglet-Biarritz School of Art. There, one of her teachers taught her to "dirty" a sheet of paper. On that day she understood that anything goes. The artist would begin with portraits of women. Whether they are painted on canvas or sculpted in clay, Isabelle seeks first to complete the resemblance to the subject, highlighting the reliefs and working beyond the frame. Working with pure abstraction, she gradually comes to mix the two. Guided by her thoughts and mood, the artist now combines the figurative and abstract.
