Isa Carrillo

Guadalajara, Mexico | 1982

Her artistic production is profoundly influenced by mysticism notions. In her artistic work she builds new stories from collecting other people memories. Based on the exploration of graphology, palmistry, astrology, numerology, the use of the pendulum and oracles as the I-ching, which she use as tools, is that her work proposes other way to signify experiences.

 

She has attended workshops and seminars on Contemporary Art Theory and Philosophical studies related to this medium. Exhibited individually and collectively in Diego Rivera Anahuacalli Museum in Mexico City, Museum of Painters in Oaxaca, Zapopan Art Museum (MAZ), Museum of the City of Guadalajara, Forum for Art and Culture, Ex Convento del Carmen, Cultural Modern Art Center, Sala Juarez, TRAMA Center, Museum-Studio Clemente Orozco, among others.

 

She was a fellow of the Young Artists Program 2009-2010 issued by the National Fund for Culture and the Arts (FONCA), by the National Council for Culture and the Arts (CECA) 2013-2014 and recently won a grant of the Incentives Program to Creation, and Artistic Development (PECDA) 2015-2016 in Jalisco, Mexico.
