Isabelle Vandeplassche

Behind the Art

Isabelle is a Belgian artist based in Portugal, inspired by the quiet rhythm of everyday life and the sunlit charm of her surroundings. Working with oil pastels and acrylics on paper, she creates playful yet calming pieces where colour, texture, and memory intertwine. The ocean’s hues, local architecture, and simple daily details often seep into her work, shaping a soft and distinctive visual language.

Her process is intuitive, starting with fragments of ideas gathered from photographs, nature walks, and objects found in local thrift markets. Deeply fascinated by colour, she experiments with unexpected combinations to evoke mood and atmosphere.
