Biography

To observe a work by the artist Isabel Castelló Ocampos is to enter a space where opposite energies converge, to reveal a different vision of the reality of our world.
She was born in Argentina, and for many years she has lived in Spain, the land of her grandfather. In her childhood, when they both spent time together in Argentina, he was the one who described those Spanish fields full of olive trees and the blue of the Mediterranean Sea. Inspired by these stories and influenced by Salvador Dalí, Gerhard Richter and Sara Shamma, Castelló Ocampos wishes that her work invites reflection, generates concerns and a certain mystery.

Former Professor of Fine Arts and Graphic Designer, she also obtained a Degree in Audiovisual Communication that allowed her to know a more technological aspect in the creative process of her works.

She shows her passion for the transformation of natural and human forms through fusion and metamorphosis, altering not only their structure but also their meaning. In this way, Castelló Ocampos keeps her spectators fascinated with the creation of new aesthetic entities characterized by a strong personality to convey a particular message to the world from her studio in Valencia.

Artist Statement

I was born in Argentina and I have lived in Spain for many years. I came to this country seeking to capture in my works those images that my grandfather described to me in my childhood: the Mediterranean Sea, the olive groves and that subjective world, where time seems to stop.

Later, I managed to update my studies in Fine Arts with the Degree in Audiovisual Communication, broadening my aesthetic perspective and revealing a more technological aspect of creativity.

Former Professor of Fine Arts and Graphic Designer, I currently dedicate all my time to my artistic projects, where I show the passion I feel for the transformation, fusion, deformation and metamorphosis of natural and human forms, altering not only their structures but also the meaning of each of them. In this way, I create new aesthetic entities characterized by a strong personality between shades of orange, light sienna, magenta or emerald green. Each of my works is a space where opposite energies converge that reveal a different vision of the reality of our world. I want the viewer to feel transported to an essential relativity of our environment, which helps them develop a more critical and constructive opinion of life.
