Isabel Alonso Vega

Born in Madrid in 1968, Isabel Alonso Vega lives and works in her hometown. Her research seeks to give form to the intangible: ephemeral solids suspended in crystalline cases, like insects in an entomologist’s collection. By layering paint on translucent materials, she creates sculptures that capture a single moment of transformation, whose shape shifts continuously with light and perspective, like silent clouds in motion.

Through this process, Alonso Vega reverses the relationship between form and content—using painting as if she were sculpting stone. Her work bridges tradition and contemporaneity, combining archetypal figures and classical techniques with a contemporary language to render the fleeting reality of the present.
