Meet the Artist | Interview with Luisa Vicente Isola

Luisa Vicente Isola uses her vibrant abstract compositions as a vehicle for both observing and navigating her personal, emotional, and spiritual evolution. In doing so, she creates a metaphorical depiction of her emotional states; communicating to her viewers the intangible feelings that we all experience and that goes far beyond what we can communicate through words. Fascinated from a young age by light and its relationship with form, color, and texture, Isola has spent her life honing her ability to capture her experience of light as a means of identifying her purpose and being. Trained as an architect, she has an acute understanding of spatial capacity and the manipulation of three-dimensional materials that allows her to create luscious, enveloping spaces. It is these spaces into which she is then able to project her internal experience, inviting her audience to explore and relate both personally as well as universally.
