Artist Statement/Biography

Izabela Rostkowska was born in Poland. She has lived in Mexico since 1980 where she has discovered a different world full of color and surrealism. She attended the prestigious school of Art of La Esmeralda.

She works mainly with acrylic and texture on canvas and on paper. Her work is very colorful and vivid, where she creates her own characters without limitations or obstacles. Her main theme is women, their expressions, feelings and their interiors.  And not only woman’s interior, but she includes all interiors surrounding us, spaces where we live and love, create and dream.

Izabela participates in numerous exhibitions in Poland, Mexico, and the United States.
