Isabelle Mignot | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

As a child, Isabelle grew up in Paris and quickly developed a passion for painting. Her father's numerous works of art fascinated her, and at age 11 she began painting and drawing. She was described as a dreamy child who liked to delve into the paintings of the great masters. Those of Joan Miró (twentieth century), overflowing with details, colours or symbols and William Turner (nineteenth century) with their play of light, particularly moved her. Painting quickly became an intimate imperative, like breathing. She taught herself and gradually evolved in her art.\n
