Painting the beauty of Being The paintings of Isabelle Lebret testify to the richness of the living. They praise its diversity, its feelings, and its relationship to spirituality. Isn't a body above all the setting of a soul?

Modernity and classical heritage Figurative work is built with the posing of models. A studied composition (even an unusual framing) and a tested technique contribute to the development of the painting. Oil is used in a succession of increasingly dense and precise layers. It allows for blends and subtle transitions from shadow to light, working with the brush in wet and semi-wet.

The geography of bodies reveals itself in monochrome; blue enhances it. The use of a single color in chiaroscuro and the sobriety of the background highlight the reliefs of these "landscape-bodies". The unreal prism of the blue color induces a distance from the subject, while emanating its soothing luminosity.

A benevolent intention The paintings of Isabelle Lebret whisper to us the poetry of the living. They invite us to an inspiring and nourishing meditative contemplation.
