46. Isabelle Kawai Vincent

Painting

Isabelle Kawai Vincent is a second generation Japanese Australian, born in central Victoria. She has been making art ever since a pencil was placed in her hand, hence, art is her first language.

In 2017 Isabelle relocated to Japan for 5 years, which was a life changing experience, especially in her art. Prior to living in Japan, Isabelle’s art materials and techniques were predominantly Western.

Isabelle’s artistic obsession is now Sumi-e Ink. Using her skills acquired from studying Japanese calligraphy, traditional and contemporary Sumi-e Ink painting, she often fuses her Western influences to create a unique style.

Isabelle utilises the human body, folk and mythical stories including mythology creatures to express the complexities of the human character, emotions, and philosophies.
