Isabella Amram (b.1995, Istanbul) is a Turkish–Venezuelan artist living and working in London. Amram’s paintings are shaped by an engagement with uncertainty and curiosity. Having grown up across multiple countries and spoken four languages at home, she developed an early awareness of how meaning is constructed, fractured, or quietly imposed. In the studio, each painting becomes a site for testing how mark-making, texture, colour, and other painterly qualities can hold conflicting impulses without forcing resolution. Her layered, scraped, and reworked surfaces open spaces where marks and forms align, collide, or drift apart, oscillating between calm and agitation. Situated within the legacy of gestural abstraction yet questioning its contemporary role, her work resists digital flatness, insisting on tactile, materially dense processes that demand embodied forms of attention.
Amram holds a BA from Brown University (2018) and an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art (2025). Solo exhibitions include Gestures In Flux curated by Kira Streletzki and Deutsche Bank, Berlin, Germany (2025).
