Artist Profile

Isabella Amram
Turkish–Venezuelan painter
Isabella Lolita Amram (b. 1995) is a Turkish–Venezuelan painter based in London whose work emerges from a deeply ritualistic, materially embodied process. Holding a BA from Brown University in Economics and Sociology, followed by a Foundation Diploma and Graduate Diploma in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts (UAL), she is currently completing an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art. Influenced by phenomenology, fractal philosophy, occult and tantric energy work, her work bridges body and cosmos through layered forms of presence and absence. Drawing on a transnational upbringing and multilingual background, she approaches painting as a site of inquiry, where mark-making, texture, and colour hold conflicting impulses without forcing resolution. Her abstract compositions, shaped by gestures of layering and erasure, metabolise everyday visual impressions—like shifting light or urban textures—into dense, tactile fields. Rooted in the legacy of gestural abstraction, Amram’s practice critically engages with contemporary image culture, resisting digital flatness and inviting embodied, slow forms of looking. Through this, her work becomes both a space for reflection and a subtle critique of how we construct and receive meaning.
