Man spends his life wondering ...All his questions are summarized here in a question mark formed by a human body.But beware, one small detail is different ... The man holds the dot that ends the question mark written in his hands and looks at it. This point can be the earth, and the question mark can be "why am I here?"
• Isabel Miramontes was born in 1962 in Santiago de Compostella in Spain.
• But the artist lives in Brussels. It was in Belgium, in Brussels, that the artist grew up and did her studies, obtaining a teaching diploma in Fine Arts at the Institut Sainte Marie.
• The body, posture, movement and essence of human life are at the heart of Isabel Miramontes' work. Her works show fascinating and contemplative figure, abstract bodies cut into strips, sketched human bodies, associated with shapes or objects and others, more realistic. At the height of the usual sculpture, Isabel Miramontes opposes an apparent emptiness. For the artist, sculpture is not a block of material to which a shape is given, sculpture is a void to which the artist gives a surface. The human existence, at once concrete and impalpable, is made of flesh and bones and that part of essential emptiness which our emotions constitute. The cuts of these characters give the image of a body reduced to its footprint. The tender form of the body of her figurines who seems ready to faint. Matter resduced to the essential that gently transforms itself into emotions and forgotten sensations, the only one memory left of the the body, the supreme value of its destiny.

Isabel Miramontes was born in Santiago de Compostela, this high place of pilgrimage, of Celtic origin, still fascinates her and remains a magical country for her. But it was in Belgium, in Brussels, that the artist grew up and studied: she obtained a diploma in Plastic Arts at the Institut Sainte-Marie.
She continued her training in 1988 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint-Gilles, in Patrick Pouillart's studio, where she acquired solid experience in drawing and sketching on live models. Isabel Miramontes retains from this experience the need to fix at all times the gestures of the man, attitudes and impressions thrown on multiple sketchbooks, so many testimonies of the subtle and perspicacious gaze that she casts around her. It was in 1994, in the studio of a sculptor friend, that she passionately discovered sculpture, which became the preferred means of expression to which she now devoted herself. Every day, Isabel Miramontes isolates herself in her studio. There, with fervor, echoing her sketches, she shapes the earth, explores new forms to give substance to her inner life and transmit her vision of the world.
Struck by a silhouette, a movement, a symbol, a thought, Isabel Miramontes translates the human attitude with deep and sincere emotion. The plastic language of Miramontes imposes the human being represented in all the ambiguity of his power and his fragility, his confinement and his desire for freedom, his dream and his triumph. This fascinating character, a synthesis of forms and thoughts, expresses the reality of life with its moments of happiness but also of drama, of abandonment but also of tension, a character who, undoubtedly, challenges each of us in the depths of his be.
