Art Collect - Isabelle-Deledda

Isabelle Deledda is a painter and sculptor. Born in the 1960s, she now lives and works in Strasbourg. If her work is bold, colorful, and free, it is because it mirrors the woman who created it — one in search of meaning, nourished by multiple heritages and a deep desire to re-enchant the world.

“I was three years old in 1968. You could say I grew up with the carefree belief that anything was possible,” she confides. This sentence could well define the starting point of her artistic approach: to rediscover the creative impulse of a time when everything seemed possible, before emptiness and superficiality began to saturate our gaze. Art thus becomes a territory to reclaim — a way to remember, to question, and to make humanity resonate in its most intimate essence.

A self-taught artist, Isabelle Deledda has shaped her practice through contact with the primitive representations of the world: Pueblo Indian symbols, Inca figures, Mediterranean motifs, ancestral engravings… From Sardinia — her homeland — to Jordan, she gathers, experiments, and invents, as in a game both serious and joyful — a “serious game,” as Maria Lai, an artist dear to her heart, would have said.

Her visual universe moves between urban art, free figuration, 1950s pin-up iconography, and technical hybridization. She works with painting, engraving, and collage, building a highly personal language — both stylized and expressive, rich in symbols and references. Iconic works such as *Îles*, *Le Déluge*, *Notre Dame des Fleurs*, and *Dolce Vita* bear witness to this formal and narrative abundance. The evolution of her style mirrors that of her life: over time, her colors deepen, her forms become freer, and her emotion more raw.

In sculpture, a revelation came to her after discovering the exhibition *Il Mondo Magico* by Eugenio Tavolara in Sardinia. That encounter sparked in her the desire to create an exhibition like a procession — an artistic march, both intimate and collective.

Curious about others, Isabelle does not see art as a solitary pursuit. She loves to discover creations hidden away in drawers — unseen pieces, wild or secret works. She thus extends an invitation to all artists, amateur or professional, to share their work, with the idea of a future collective exhibition enriched by her own “offbeat and restorative” pieces.

In Isabelle Deledda’s work, each piece becomes a voice that whispers the essential: a visceral need for expression, a sensitive memory, a poetry of the real that resists banality. A world in perpetual motion — questioning, connecting, and above all… daring.
