About Isadora Capraro
Isadora Capraro's artistic practice focuses on the relationship between symbols and the subconscious drive. Drawing on a complex personal mythology, the artist utilizes abstraction and symbolism to evoke this synergy between the two.
Capraro’s most recent exhibition, “Evocation”, reflects her personal development as an artist over the past years and presents both a personal and technical journey. Capraro is well known for her symbolist artworks, while “Evocation” marks a transition from purely figurative painting to creating artworks that balance abstraction and symbolism.
Combining images from memory, personal archives, and literary sources, the artist creates allusive scenes capturing the relationship between symbols and the subconscious. The bold colouration of the artworks and the historical yet familiar symbols help transport the viewer into a dream-like environment and indirectly provoke them to reflect upon their own subconscious journey.
