Isabelle Scheltjens

Biography

After ten years of dedication and refinement in creating glassfusing portraits, Isabelle has ventured into an exciting new artistic challenge: creating sculptures in glass crush and marble. These new works are not only technically masterful but also emotionally profound and visually stunning.

Elongated and stretched sculptures are a fascinating artistic concept where traditional images of faces are distorted to offer a new perspective and interpretation. This technique challenges the viewer to look more closely and discover the deeper meaning and emotions within the portraits.

In the context of visual art, these distortions are intended to confront the viewer with questions about identity, perception and the human condition. Elongating and stretching of faces can have different effects: it draws attention to certain features or emotions, and it invites the viewer to reflect on the relative nature of beauty and normality.
