Ep 19: Isabel De Prince: From Modeling to Art
Description:
In Episode 19 of Primary Market, host Topper Luciani sits down with Paris-based artist Isabel De Prince to talk about her journey from modeling to becoming a full-time artist, her early studies in fine arts, and the experiences that changed the way she saw her life and her work.
Isabel shares how losing her younger brother led her to reconnect deeply with painting and use art as a way to process grief and understand herself. She talks about her series of horse paintings, her exhibition Daydreaming, and how her work gradually moved from darker themes toward something lighter and more personal.
The conversation also explores Isabel’s current practice of using herself, her dreams, and intuition as subjects for her paintings. She discusses using AI as a tool for self-analysis, her fascination with Salvador Dalí, and the importance of an artist developing not only their work but also their identity and presence in the modern art market.
