Isabel Bichara is a painter based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, whose vibrant acrylic works explore the intersections of heritage, identity, and femininity.

​

Drawing inspiration from her family background—Levantine and Northeastern Brazilian—Isabel creates evocative narratives that reflect the complexities of growing up between two worlds.

​

In her paintings, she depicts women that resonate with her own identity, emphasizing full, curvaceous forms and expressive hair.

By integrating elements and symbols from ancient art, Isabel's work blends the human form with animalistic features, creating a dialogue between femininity and nature.

 

Through her use of bright colors, she crafts scenes that invite viewers to engage with themes of empowerment, community,

and their own burdens.
