| 关于此艺术家 |
After taking A-level art, Isobel Pravda did not paint again for 10 years. In the intervening years she trained as a actor at the Central School of Speech and Drama, graduating in 2001.
At drama school, her creative energy had a different outlet. During her career as an actor, she played in theatre,film and television, a highlight being the lead female, Camille Monet, in the 2006 BBC 1 drama 'The Impressionists'. In 2007, Isobel decided to move to Greece and during that time felt the energy and need to paint again. Isobel feels that the source of her creativity, expressed both in her acting and her art, is the same. She further believes that, in both disciplines, the accumulation of experiences and influences enriches and informs her work.
Isobel's grandmother. Hana Pravda: Holocaust survivor; actor; director; and painter, took a young Isobel around the galleries of London and Europe. This was Isobels' true art school and these European experiences feature heavily in her work.
