Isern Carol | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Carol's artistic influences are many and varied. The Spanish artist appreciates expressionism, abstraction, the Dada movement, Art Brut but also oriental art and primitive art. She feels a great admiration for Antoni Tapies (Spanish artist, twentieth – twenty-first centuries), Zao Wou-ki (Chinese-French painter) and Jean Dubuffet (French artist, twentieth century). Carol works with various techniques (ink, plaster, charcoal, acrylic, pigments) on different media (paper, wood, canvas). While landscapes are her favourite subject, she does not seek to represent reality accurately. She uses photography not as a model to replicate, but as a way to create a composition. Between figuration and abstraction, her intriguing paintings intend to provoke emotion.
