Isabella Amram (b. 1995) is a Turkish Venezuelan artist born in Istanbul who lives and
works in London. She holds a master’s degree in painting from the Royal College of Art.
Her paintings emerge from an intensely physical process. Moving back and forth across
the canvas, she works through cycles of layering and erasure, balancing intention with
chance (or perhaps, divinatory fate). The Tarot serves as a generative framework in her
practice: drawing from the 78-card deck, she selects a card and translates its thematic
structure into painterly action rather than illustration. Each work evolves through a
negotiation between control and release. The surface becomes a field where material
process and human experience converge, inviting viewers to project and interpret
themselves within the painting. Amram’s recent solo exhibition Focus was presented at
Workplace Gallery in London.
