ISABEL PARRA
Isabel Parra is a formally trained Colombian-French visual artist. Born in Medellín, Colombia, she completed a bachelor’s degree in visual arts and a master’s degree in education focused on art. She later pursued a master’s degree in Culture and Chinese Society. Residing in Hong Kong for many years, she balances her time between art and teaching, two passions that inspire her creative journey.

Parra’s recent artwork emphasizes the intricate symbiosis between humanity and the environment, addressing the threats to species in danger of extinction due to human actions. “My artistic interests revolve around the natural, social, economic, and cultural relationship man has with his environment,” she explains. “None of these aspects are separate from each other or the evolution of individuals within society. My work attempts to understand the society I am part of, questioning both the negative and positive characteristics that shape our lives.”

Using painting as her primary medium, Parra also incorporates printmaking, photography, sculptural objects, and public interventions. She views art as an essential tool for raising awareness about the pressing need for environmental stewardship and social balance. Her exhibitions have reached audiences in Hong Kong, Colombia, Italy, Korea, Switzerland, and the USA.
