ABOUT

​​

Maria Isabel Vasquez is a contemporary self-portrait artist working with presence, control, and the physicality of the body.

 

Her practice centres on self-representation, using her own figure as both subject and medium to define the relationship between identity and perception. Through a restrained and deliberate visual language, her work engages with the dynamics of looking — where control is constructed within the image and held in its exchange.

 

Rather than illustrating narrative, Vasquez’s work is built on moments of tension — where vulnerability and strength coexist within the same frame. The result is a body of work that remains direct and composed, sustaining attention over time without relying on explanation.

 

Her works are placed within residential interiors and private collections, where their presence shapes the atmosphere of a space rather than simply complementing it.

 

Based in the United Kingdom, Vasquez maintains a focused body of work positioned between fine art and spatial context, with selected works available for private acquisition and commissions.
