Isabel Alonso Vega’s search focuses on the attempt to shape the intangible. Her process starts with painting different layers of acrylic to create sculptures of abstract figures, mainly with smoke. As if they were silent clouds in continuous transformation, the sculptures seem to levitate in a space created only by light.
The artist’s work attempts to subvert the relationship between form and content: giving shape to disembodied objects, she uses smoke, sometimes ink and gold leaf, as if she were sculpting stone.
Isabel Alonso Vega graduated in Fine Arts from the Universidad Complutense of Madrid. She currently lives and works in Madrid.
Alonso Vega’s work has been exhibited in several European galleries such as Löwenbrau Kunst Zurich (Zurich, Switzerland), at Ulf Larsson Gallery (Cologne, Germany), White Noise Gallery (Rome, Italy), and a solo exhibition at our gallery in Mexico City in 2022.
The artist has participated in several international fairs: Zona Maco 2023, Dallas Art Fair in 2022, Art Verona 2018/2019, Positions Berlin 2018, Affordable Art Hong Kong 2018, Art Madrid 2018, Just Madrid 2018, Just Lisboa 2018, among others. She has been chosen to be part of the Montressor artist residency in Marrakesh and will exhibit her works in 2020 at the Móstoles Cultural Center, and CEART, Fuenlabrafda. She is part of the collection of Norlinda and José Lima Collection and Room Mate Collection, Gerry Bonetty, Bracken Darrel, and Iris Fabbri.
