I am Isafara, a painter.

I have been painting for many years, driven by one constant desire: to be free.

Free to change subjects, formats, colours, techniques and worlds.

I can paint an underwater world, a figure, a landscape, an unusual scene, a large composition or a painting several metres long.

I may start a canvas with a clear idea and let it evolve as I paint.

MY PAINTING IS MY COMPLETE FREEDOM

I paint what I want, how I want and when I want.

I do not seek to fit into a particular category or always paint in the same way.

That is why I describe myself as a chameleon painter.

My painting may change its appearance, but it always retains the same desire to explore, imagine and create.

DES FORMATS QUI SORTENT DES CADRES

Over the years, I have created works that sometimes occupy a great deal of space.

ISAYOTTAS are large-scale works, sometimes painted on both sides.

TENISAFARA works can reach 10 metres in length and consist of five paintings forming a single work.

These formats are also a way for me to push beyond the usual boundaries of painting.

PEINDRE AVANT TOUT

I have held exhibitions, met audiences and shared some of my work.

But I do not paint solely to exhibit.

Many of my paintings remain in my studio, some rolled up, others still waiting to be discovered.

That is part of my story.

I simply keep painting, searching, experimenting and starting again.

Because, ultimately, painting is what matters most to me.

Welcome to the world of Isafara.
