About Isabel Miramontes

Isabel Miramontes was born in a city called Santiago de Compostela in Spain. She loved art and studied it in Brussels, Belgium. First, she earned a diploma in fine arts from Institut Sainte Marie. Then, she continued her art studies at the Fine Arts Academy of Saint-Gilles. These schools helped her become the amazing sculptor she is today.

Her Amazing Sculptures

Isabel Miramontes mostly uses bronze to create her sculptures. Bronze is a strong metal that artists often use. She likes to show the human body in motion. Her sculptures often look like they are made of strips, spirals, or twisted shapes.

Even though the bodies show lots of movement, the faces in her sculptures usually have a calm, blank expression. This creates a feeling of drama and excitement. Miramontes wants to show not just physical actions, but also feelings and emotions. Her art can represent the power of our minds, our dreams, or even our wish for freedom.

Space is also very important in her art. She makes sculptures that are abstract and surrealist. This means they don't always look exactly like real life. She plays with how big or small things seem, and how they look from different angles. You can see this in her sculptures with their big movements and long, stretched-out bodies.
