Isabel Beyel – “La Trahison” & “Untitled”

During the process, the expressive spirit that she wants to give each piece of artwork is central. Each work begins with meticulous, time-consuming hand-painted lines on Plexiglas. To make the unity play well together materials and the well-considered placement of them is crucial. This is a constant and intense changing process until that moment when everything perfectly and logically flows over into one another.

From her love of movement and change she sees working with different materials as a logical step. To play with light and shadow she makes use of layering and transparency combined with the different structures of materials. The background surface is a collage of carefully collected materials. Repetition and pattern are strong characteristic of her work. Beyel says:  “There are recognizable patterns to be found in all forms of change’’.

Born in 1968, Mönchengladbach (Germany) she grew up in the south of Limburg (The Netherlands). She studied law and after a professional career in human resources, she followed her heart by becoming into an autodidact artist.

It was in 2003 that Beyel decided to pursue her true passion and commenced working as a contemporary artist, initially using acrylic and oil paint. Her interest in photography is visible in her work and remains an important source of inspiration in each of her pieces. Beyel moved on from working with oil and acrylic paint and developed her work into a mixture of paint, found art and multi-media. It’s with this style and form of 3D technique that she became successful.

In 2011 she was introduced at the TEFAF. This prominent platform lead to her international breakthrough and her work now frequents many other prestigious expositions and art fairs worldwide.
