Isabella Amram is a Turkish-Venezuelan painter based in London. She holds a BA from Brown University and is currently completing an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art. Her work has been exhibited across Europe and Turkey and is included in international collections. Isabella approaches painting as an evolving dialogue between body, surface, and time. Through layering, erasure, and re-composition, she creates paintings that are physically dynamic and conceptually fluid. Organic forms—like roots, erosion patterns, and natural phenomena—serve as structural references, alongside fragmented codes and symbols that resist fixed meaning. Her practice draws on a personal archive of imagery collected during nature walks, which she internalises and abstracts into compositional and gestural cues. Working across various scales and often in multi-panel formats, her paintings suggest a fractal logic—forms repeat, break, and transform. Mark-making is central, producing surfaces that hold both immediacy and depth, reflecting a non-linear sense of time and perception. Rooted in contemporary abstraction, Isabella's work privileges process, sensation, and the instability of meaning. While her gestures are instinctive, her use of color is deliberate, creating a balance between spontaneity and formal control.
