︎art for me is:


Artwork, for me, is the recollection of my innermost musings, and their translation into figures and gestures that encrypt  complex messages, like stories, feelings, and so on, depicted metaphorically and with a childlike appeal.  My current practice focuses on pop-surreal medium format painting. My style is, at a first glance, childish- however, a closer look and further observation might reveal an invitation to explore underlying narratives in each one of my pieces. The painting process begins long before I even attempt the painting itself. I draft, in my mind, an image that stems from a reinterpretation of a given event or series of events. Allegories spark and collect themselves in my head, and consequently onto the canvas. the drive behind my creative efforts is a personal necessity to explore feelings and emotions, which I find have their best processing from the perspective of a child, and is represented in the style and recurring motifs I choose to depict. ︎︎︎






ABOUT



Isis A., a.k.a. fourtoeight, is an independent graphic artist currently focused on painting, illustration and graphic design.

My approach to creation is experimental, almost reckless, relentless. It is based on a child-like need to make visual representations of ideas that I have, or that I’m given. I like to use symbolism and visual metaphors, in an attempt to translate such ideas into a visual language, that feels nostalgic yet complex and captivating to the sight.
