Isabella Rose Fisher
I am a contemporary painter who’s creative practice focuses on intimate connections that I have with both myself and others.
Artist statement:
My name is Isabella Fisher-Williams and I am 21 years old, currently in my third year of studying Fine Art at De Montfort University. For the past few years, I have been focused on exploring emotion and interaction through my creative work. This reflects a lot about me as a person, as I am quite an intuitive and curious person who enjoys observing social patterns and behaviour, analysing my personal emotions, and discovering how mental thoughts, opinions, and feelings are expressed physically. This interest in the sociology, psychology and inner workings of the world around me is what has shaped me as an artist.
What my creative work explores:
I produce oil paintings that focus on matters of the mind. I am highly interested in connection and how different connections shape a person. I have heavily explored the connection between my mind and body within my work, and the connection between myself and those close to me.
The air is thick in here.
This is 'The air is thick in here', it reflects how I felt during a time of extreme stress and discomfort. I used abstract imagery to represent the metaphorical walls wrapped around me, that were there to protect me from said stress and discomfort.

I'm letting myself breathe again.
This is 'I'm letting myself breathe again', it reflects my state of mind at a point in time that I was feeling uplifted, and destressed. I had began to take back control of my life and was feeling hopeful for my future.

Let me breathe you in.
This piece is called 'Let me breathe you in', it captures the feelings of two people in a physical, intimate moment. The abstract shapes are representing how the feelings surrounding this moment are travelling through both individuals bodies, not how the bodies themselves are moving.

Are these lungs still mine?
This is 'Are these lungs still mine?', it represents the feeling of not understanding myself anymore. I was unsure how I was being perceived by others due to their opinions being stronger than my true personality. I was worried that it wasn't in my control how I was seen anymore.
How music feels to me:
This is the final painting of a project that i worked on in my second year of university.
It explores the movement of music, how people physically react to hearing it, and how it bounces around a room. I used long exposure light photography to capture a model dancing, and compiled the photos to create this layered painting. I chose to explore this due to my close relationship with music, I have always found that I concentrate better with loud music playing, and I associate each relationship/ important person in my life with specific songs.
