I am Isabel Tobón, I was born in Medellín Colombia, currently I’m living in Vancouver Canada.
I graduated the National University of Colombia, with a degree in Plastic Arts.
My artistic focus centers on the intricacies of the world around us – the details, fragments, and individual parts that compose the larger whole.
I possess a keen appreciation for the nuances of these elements, which fuels my passion for meticulously observing and abstracting the colors, shapes, and stories that lie beyond the macro level.
My artistic process involves dedicating countless hours behind the lens, patiently waiting for the ideal shot that captures a particular gesture, angle, or light.
Over time, my collection of saved shots evolves to reflect my evolving vision, needs, and aesthetic preferences.
Defining my work is a complex task, as I find beauty and inspiration in every aspect of life, from the morning dew to the textures and colors of flowers, insects, and birds. Even the geometric forms of buildings and mirrors, the stonework and the lines that connect us, and the uniqueness of individuals and their gestures are all sources of inspiration for me.
I am constantly drawn to the play of light and magic of color that infuses each of these subjects.
In essence, my artistic work serves as a diary of the world as I see it, captured through the frames of my camera lens.
