ISABEL PONS TELLO
Using an element that has historically been associated with art since the discovery of the umbers and siennas, raw and burnt, Isabel Pons Tello rescues a scrap of forgotten industrial iron from torture by oxygen and gives meaning to its suffering. In a kind of symbiosis Pons Tello and her feral ferrous collaborate on a masterpiece born of the passion and culture of the former and the delicious disintegration of the latter.
Acrylic resins and minerals also play a part in the birthing of her work but her profound respect for decay and it’s ability to create by attrition what no living thing could with intention is what earns her the right to this remarkable marriage between mammal and metal, and their aleatoric offspring.

In the Element
The artist and professor of Visual Arts ISABEL PONS TELLO experiments with compositions made with rusty iron, minerals and resins. Establishing a dialogue with the metal parts- discarded objects of the industrial machine- she achieves a resizing of function and context in which the work evolves into an almost sculptural painting. Isabel is an unconventional artist that questions the passage of time and the effects of nature, while analyzing the limits of the artistic, playing with paradoxes that emerge in the sensory forms of her paintings and sculptures .
