Isabella Theys

In my work, an ironic perspective and social commentary go hand in hand with a complex depiction of emotions. The protagonists are often on the verge of a tipping point in which rebellion, a breakdown or a decadent splurge are lurking around the corner. On the horizon lures the call of a free life, which cannot be lived without destroying the old patterns. My aim is to capture the contradictions in people’s lives, subverting the often unrealistic expectations all of us face in one way or another. The oil paintings I propose respond to the ageist metaphor and the mystified landscape we live in, both within and outside of the arts. My work shows a critique on society as seen through a lens with preset interpretations; bright colors depict frivolity and lightheartedness, flawless beauty acts as superficial, gender instills stereotype behavior.
