ABOUT THE WORK

Raul Isidro was fascinated with abstract forms from the start of his career and well into the 1960s. In the early 1970s, Isidro returned to figuration in works using acrylic on metal etching. But his shapes led him to realize the potential of bold lines for calligraphic abstract expression. In the mid-1970s his works turned pure abstract with bold but impersonal gestures of the brush conveying dynamic mental and emotional configurations. Gold leaf was then added to Isidro’s experimental materials during the 1980s in a series highly influenced by nature and the different phenomena surrounding us.
