LAURA ISAZA

ABOUT THE ARTIST

ARTIST Statement

Control and chaos, dark and light, big and small, soft and rough, fragile and strong. She is fascinated by contrasting opposites, which she uses through the choice of colors and techniques. Her works are deeply emotional and are inspired by her own experiences.

She portrays female problems, fears, but also her dreams and challenges old social ideas. Her artworks are a bold statement against prejudice. By emphasizing cultural diversity, race and age, one could say that her work celebrates women and their connections to their own body and personality.

Her first female characters portray sensuality and empowerment, provocative through their facial expressions and liberation from standards of beauty and femininity. She plays with the absence of hair, makeup and jewelry to empower women to be comfortable in their own skin, prompting dialogue and reflection on what lies beneath the facade, whether it's strength and power or loneliness and fragility.Recently is interested in minimalism. In her last works she manages to express strong emotions and movements using only the necessary lines. Her three-dimensional tactile works exude dynamic elegance and harmony with white brushstrokes.
