Isabella Despujols

The work of Isabella Despujols is an approximation to "affective geometry". The carefully constructed forms in each composition are inspired by the concrete, optical and kinetic movements of the last century. This choice is not capricious, the artist's main objective is to exalt and elevate the feminine tradition of embroidery, generally confined to the artisan and domestic environment. Her proposal is based on developing a work that intertwines the affectivity and intimacy of the embroidery process and the mathematical study of geometric figures. In this way, the result obtained is a set of pieces that reveal a unique embroidery technique, developed by the artist herself that generates sensations of movement in the viewer, inspired by the kinetic works of Soto and Cruz-Diez.
