Isabo Creations

Belgian independent creative - graphics, paintings, drawings - based in Ghent, Belgium.

Observing the world - from the immediate environment, often first in the form of sketches and drawings - My painting working method is process-oriented, mostly intuitive and spontaneous with bold colors and forms.

I start from Mother Nature, of what comes out of the ground and disappears again, forces of Nature and the ever-continuing landscape

...from being and the pain, the beauty, the ugliness, the restlessness and fear ...

With a graphic design background I love all kind (reclaimed) paper and their interaction with different materials and paints.
