Sequana

Isabelle Jacq Gamboena is a Spanish painter who graduated from the Beaux-arts de Paris. After having lived 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 colors and textures evoke the sound vibrations of flamenco that become colored 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 corporal element. In this close-up vision, the artist invites us to better probe reality and to perceive how a detail can be rich in meaning. Also a portraitist, Isabelle reveals the soul of the people she represents.

If Isabelle's favorite theme is flamenco, an art that echoes the artist's Spanish origins, her painting also refers to nature and poetry. Indeed, some 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 his brush, expressing his feelings. Her works, sometimes warm, sometimes vaporous but always luminous, are an invitation to the elevation of the soul and the celebration of life.
