« I am a visual artist because it is my way of communicating what I perceive of the world around me. »
This content has been automatically translated.

My artistic work is born from the critical observation of the world around me. My works have a strong content of conceptual, theoretical and plastic research. I like painting and the possibility of communicating through it new spaces and imaginations that transport the observer to another place. My pictorial projects and the technique used vary according to the discourse on which I work, this is why sometimes from one project to another there is a significant difference in register, in this sense the technique I use is appropriate to the speech that I am preparing for myself. For me, Art and Life, quoting Joseph Beuys, are part of the same thing.

Trashumantes

“In a certain way, a painting that does not comprehends its own abyss, which does not comprehend a abyss, which does not pass through an abyss, which does not establish on the canvas an abyss, it is not a painting.” (Guilles Deleuze) Unlike photography or video, painting is not data, but gesture. intimate trace of movement of the hand and the brush guided by a look that remembers, evokes, projects or conjure up imaginaries In Isadora Willson's paintings these imaginaries seem suspended in time. They appear to us as postcards from an imprecise era to which we approach attracted by neatness, color and harmony, but in which we intuit a abyss. In the artist's work, the old Albertinian metaphor of the “painting as a window” does not work for us. His painting is not a window; no mirror, no screen...

Paseantes

Currently, urban constructions have ceased to be thought of and focused on the individual, causing a disproportion between what we could call human scale and urban scale. The structural and sociocultural characteristics of those places influence the forms of use and transit of public spaces, establishing a new habitation, where the experience of the place as a private and personal space disappears. My work focuses on the symbolic representation of the feeling of helplessness and loneliness in today's societies. Syndrome that seems to be intrinsic to large metropolises, and that ends up isolating individuals within the crowd. The soft and flat colors give calm and harmony to what is represented.

Bushwick Nights

Bushwick nights was born from my nocturnal walks through this Brooklyn neighborhood, during a two-month stay. Bushwick is a neighborhood that, like many others in New York, begins a rapid process of gentrification. It is difficult to foresee the changes that will take place in it, but we can affirm with certainty the inevitable urban and social transformation to which it is exposed. This series is an attempt to retain those streets marked by the elevated subway structure, the multiple shops advertised with neon signs, the diversity of cultures that coexist there, the corners with an air of out of time, a disturbing tranquility; where you always find a place that surprises you. It's the Bushwick nights that made me think that what I was witnessing was going to disappear.

Paisajes de la memoria

“Landscapes of Memory” aims to restore to the evidence of the photographed spaces their dimension of memories, giving them back their voice, their essence of places through transposition into another language. The artist invites by e-mail a group of friends and people close to her to participate in her project, asking them to send a photograph capable of eliciting a significant memory, leaving aside its aesthetic characteristics at the time of selection. Digital photography, that is, the visual manifestation that comes closest to “evidence” in the common sense, is then the starting point for the reinterpretation of the memory it contains, in a transfer that uses the language of painting as a medium. Thus, a second gaze, the painter's gaze, interferes between the initial space and its representation in memory, retelling something that – only from now on – also belongs to her (---) text by Vanina Saracino.

Firas

This oil series represents night images of the Girona Fairs. The neons stand out among the trees of La Devesa Park; a contrast that turns the atmosphere with a “bizarre” feel, strange contrasts where the night and the overflowing lighting of the attractions mix.

Estado de vigilancia

I use registration and identification methods such as the EAN 13 type barcode (global product coding system) and the DNI with data such as name, date and place of birth, to generate a new subject identification system. Photography from the back is a way of ironizing the rigidity of these methods, which identify us more as a product, a made-in, than as a subject seen through a structure that represents us. Each series is shown as a window of information that, however, loses its usefulness due to the way in which it is displayed. Michel Foucault, in his texts on power, proposes the “surveillance state” as a form of behavioral control over people and societies. Being in circulation introduces us to a permanent police system, the barcode and the photograph from behind is an irony (...)

Nómades

Nómades talks about migrations, human movement in various scenarios and landscapes of the planet. In the paintings we see small characters carrying their belongings with them; sometimes in the form of objects, backpacks, bundles that emulate fabrics; Others make advances to their children, to their loved ones. Nómades transcends from the autobiographical to the collective to suggest a journey. A journey that cannot be described but can be imagined. The series is in process, in the research and creation stage.
