BIO
Isabel Betancourt, a Venezuelan artist, began her journey in goldsmithing at the age of 16, complementing her passion for metals with studies in graphic design. Her jewelry studies started in Venezuela with various artists, and she later enriched her career by living in countries such as Colombia, Argentina, and Peru, where she not only honed her craft but also exhibited her work in galleries in Colombia, Peru, and Chile. Throughout her career, she has participated in significant events like the National Goldsmithing Salon and the National Fire Arts Salon in Venezuela. Additionally, she has taught jewelry-making at various schools in the country. In 2018, she showcased her work at Milan Jewelry Week with Artistar Jewels, bringing her art to an international stage. These personal and cultural experiences have been key to her artistic growth and maturity.
Her brand, Metals by Isabel Betancourt, centers on metals as the main focus, with variations in color and the use of diverse materials such as glass, textiles, resins, and precious stones, among others. Each piece is an artistic expression that goes beyond a mere commercial product, representing a synthesis of the superfluous. The fine curves and geometry of her designs clearly reflect her eclectic minimalist style. In addition to jewelry, Isabel creates sculptures and artistic installations, which can serve as collectible elements or become part of spaces, adding an elegant and unique touch. These works stand out for their ability to transform environments, taking the art of metals to new levels of creative expression.
