| "Isabela's work shows her ability to turn mundane objects into expressive art that is imaginative in the realm of deeper truths. Both her paintings and assemblages evoke a sense of mystery, immortality and religious iconography which is ever present in her work. Issues dealing with grief, death, life, birth and re-birth are strongly presented and blurred together. Her art represents various emotional states which make the actual objects used merely representational. These evocative works allow the viewer a chance to share the deeper, hidden side of a complex artist who gives us an opportunity to see the beauty in the ungraspable." Marianne Letasi, Curator, The City Gallery, Dearborn Arts Council, Michigan |
"Trying to deal with the truth, implies that I’m not able to fulfill an artist’s statement, the nature of the art being impermanent, transcient and centered on the unseen implies connection through seeing and feeling, not through verbal, written or conceptual ideas"
