Discover the contemporary work of Isabelle Hermida

"An engineer by training, I spend most of my free time drawing and painting.

What was a pleasure with drawing during my schooling has become an impulse, sometimes an obsession, certainly a passion with painting about ten years ago. It is undoubtedly also a therapy that allows me to balance my interior with this unstable world that never ceases to shake us up.

Self-taught, I rely on my intuition to find the colors, the shapes, sometimes successfully, sometimes making mistakes too, with the aim of capturing on canvas my perception of the moment, of the movement, of the light that awakens an emotion.

I strive to create works that bring joy and beauty. Dive into a world of colors with my paintings. Each work invites you into the intimacy of an enigmatic character.

 The natural beauty of women is my main inspiration.

 I observe these women in their everyday attitudes. I seek to surprise, savor and share intimate moments, simple and complex at the same time. I discover women who are witty or busy, mischievous or charming, always beautiful. I like to spread, transmit to through my paintings the serenity, the joy that they inspire in me.

 Each of my creations requires a lot of time, this time that I envy.

Oil painting, acrylic and dry pastels are the three favorite mediums.

 I hope to have the time to diversify my techniques and my subjects in order to progress and to always take more pleasure in the creative process.
