Isabel del Campo

Isabel Del Campo is a visual artist borned in the city of Talca, Chile. She is the daughter of an impressionist painter from whom she received artistic knowledge from her early childhood. Then she received drawing and painting instruction from Pascual Gambino, at the "National Society of Fine Arts" in Santiago de Chile. Between the years 2002-2008 she deepened her painting studies with the abstract master Roberto Ayashi. Previously, she had already studied ceramic sculpture with Sandra Santander, at "Artistas del Acero" in Concepción. She actively participated for approximately 8 years in Gloria Mujica’s Ceramic Workshop. In 2003, she had the opportunity to take a mosaic workshop in Santiago that allowed her to teach for approximately 15 years. Isabel has made a large number of exhibitions, both collective and individual, in Chile and abroad, being her last international participation in "World Art Dubai". She was the President of the "Association of Plastic Artists of La Reina" for the periods 2002-2005, 2007-2010 and 2012-2015

She has a wide spectrum in her artistic work, developing in parallel various expressions of plastic arts, mainly ceramic sculpture, painting, batik, mosaic and textile art. She has placed greater dedication to pictorial expression, as her favorite language, which allows her a greater approximation to the issues that concern her and make sense to her, such as the transcendence of the human being, her consciousness, the existence of other dimensional planes and subtle worlds. This is how she transits expressively, within magical realism, her main premise being: "what is essential is invisible to the eye", as the Little Prince said.

Currently, her artistic expression is focused on raising awareness about the environment through textile art created with discarded fabrics of second and third use.
