Isis Selmikaitis
Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil
Lives & works in Portsmouth, UK
As a woman artist, I have been focussing a lot on feminist issues within society, raising questions about the female universe that has often been neglected and sharing the experiences of growing up in a country that discriminates against women. I want to scream through images and reach through the object in space. I want to give my voice to the unspeakable. I want to be able to touch other women's hearts and minds.
I like to diversify my practice using various media. Normally, my way of communicating is through two-dimensional images, but sometimes, depending on my subject, I feel the need to occupy the space in many other ways. Regardless of the media I use, an element present in all of my artistic work is the use of chromatic relationships to express myself.
Recently, I've become very involved in an old passion, which I want to specialize in both academically and artistically. This passion is artist's books.
