Artist

Isabella Pizzano was born in Rome, Italy, where she earned a B.A. in Fine Arts specializing in clay sculpture. While residing in N.J. she exhibited her sculptures in numerous national and international shows such as the prestigious competition of “ARTISTIC CERAMICS” in Faenza, Italy. As a gallery owner in N.J. she presented many talented artists working with different media as well as providing consulting services to many corporations and private collectors.

For ten years she participated in multiple workshops under national renowned teachers in multimedia. She then started to develop her own at compositions. Today her work is mostly abstract expressionism and she likes to experiment with different techniques, mostly water media, inks, and collage, using rare and archival papers. In China, Isabella experienced a cultural art exchange with local artists as well as conducting several workshops and demonstrations of Western Art Techniques.

Artist’s Statement
The way I work reflects the way I feel about the philosophy of life; all colors are layered, occasionally introducing collage, each passage is a new exciting experience and I do not know where it will take me next.

I do not plan my paintings, they have to surprise me on each stage of progression. They overtake me as a natural force! My hope is that the use of a variety of forms and brilliancy of color in my work will establish an emotional communication with the viewer!
