Isabelle Jacq Gamboena is a Spanish painter who graduated from the Beaux-arts de Paris. After living for several years in West Africa and Brittany, Isabelle settled in the Paris region.
In her works, Isabelle likes to evoke dance, song and flamenco music through a style where figuration and abstraction cohabit in harmony.
The colours and textures evoke the sound vibrations of flamenco which become coloured matter, while figurative forms representing a dancing body, a face, a model, emerge from this abstract world.
Sometimes Isabelle likes to focus her attention on a detail: a natural or physical element. In this close-up view, the artist invites us to probe reality more closely and to perceive how a detail can be rich in meaning. Isabelle is also a portraitist and reveals the soul of the people she portrays.
Isabelle's favourite theme is flamenco, an art form that echoes her Spanish origins, but her paintings also make reference to nature and poetry. Indeed, some of her works are inspired by the reading of certain poets or by places that have marked her memory. Thus, landscapes are born at the end of her brush, expressing her feelings.
Her works, sometimes warm, sometimes vaporous but always luminous, are an invitation to the elevation of the soul and the celebration of life.
