Currículum:

Nace en Madrid en 1968
En la actualidad vive y trabaja en Madrid.
La búsqueda de Isabel Alonso Vega se focaliza en el tentativo de dar forma al intangible. Solidos efímeros fluctúan en cajas transparentes casi como si fueran insectos en la colección de un entomólogo.
Pintando sobre distintas capas de material límpido, la artista crea esculturas que resemblan el único frame de un proceso de trasformación, dando cuerpo físico a un fenómeno abstracto. Su obras no se encuentran atrapadas dentro una forma estática: su forma y dinamismo cambian continuamente, según la luz y la perspectiva desde la que se observan. Como si fueran nubes silenciosas y en continua trasformación las esculturas parecen levitar en un espacio creado solamente por la luz.
El trabajo de la artista intenta subvertir la relación entre forma y contenido: dando forma a objetos sin cuerpo, ella utiliza la pintura como si estuviera esculpiendo la piedra.
Isabel Alonso Vega es capaz de subrayar la continuidad entre la tradición –tan iconográfica como cronológica- y el arte contemporánea. Ella aplica figuras arquetípicas y técnicas tradicionales a lenguajes contemporáneos, estudiando la posibilidad de representar la realidad mas evanescente de forma universalmente comprensible.

Born in Madrid in 1969.
Currently living and working in Madrid.
Her research is based on the attempt to give shape to the intangible. Ephemeral solids are fluctuating in crystalline cases as if they were insects in an entomologist collection. By painting on several layers of translucent materials, Isabel Alonso Vega creates sculptures depicting a single frame of a transformation, giving physical stance to an abstract phenomenon. Her sculptures are not forced into a static nature. Their form and dynamic is continuously changing according to the
light and the perspective from which they are observed. Just as silent and morphing clouds, fluctuating in a space carved only by light. Her work focuses on the intent of reversing the relationship between form and content: giving physical structure to ephemeral objects, she uses pain as if she was crafting stone.
Isabel Alonso Vega is able to stress out the continuity between tradition both iconographical and chronological- and contemporary art. She applies archetypical figures and traditional techniques to contemporary languages, studying the possibility of representing, with a universally understandable vocabulary, the evanescent present reality.
