Isabella Amram is a Turkish-Venezuelan painter based in London. She holds a BA from Brown University and an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art. Her work has been exhibited across Europe and Turkey and is held in international collections.
She approaches painting as a dialogue between body, surface, and time. Through layering, erasure, and recomposition, she creates works that are physically dynamic and conceptually fluid. Organic forms—such as roots, erosion patterns, and other natural phenomena—act as structural references, alongside fragmented codes and symbols that resist fixed meaning.
Drawing on imagery gathered during nature walks, she internalises and abstracts these forms into compositional and gestural cues. Working across scales, often in multi-panel formats, her paintings suggest a fractal logic where forms repeat, break, and transform. Mark-making is central, creating surfaces that hold both immediacy and depth and reflect a non-linear sense of time.
Rooted in contemporary abstraction, her work privileges process, sensation, and the instability of meaning. While her gestures are instinctive, her use of colour is deliberate, balancing spontaneity with formal control.
