BIOGRAPHY & THOUGHTS

 

                                         *ISA *ES* ASI*  

                                                                            "ISA IS LIKE THIS"
Isabella, born in 1965,under the sign of scorpio, in the north of Holland. Traveller since early years, she grew up in a Tibetan budhist monastry in France. At age 15, she returned to Amsterdam, to initiate a career as a proffessional tattooist, receiving her apprenticeship at an infamous tattoo studio in the city's red light district. In those days she was than operating under the artist name "Morbella".
Further travelling, brought about by her trade, took her to Mexico, where she fell in love with the culture, and spend a few years, persuing a second carreer as a Torera, which took her back to Spain, where she has kept a home base, for the last 20 years, in Andalucia.
With time she has been concentrating more on her painting skills, mostly acrylic on canvas, also book and record covers, illustration and big circus decoration, and so on. Unable to sit still for very long, she regularly takes her travelling Art Gallery, "Todos mis Muertos" on a journey, visiting Norway, most parts of Europe, the Balcans and India. Her own particular style inspired in her bohemian way of life, where erotism, religion, love and death, walk hand in hand through the great circus of existence...
