She has been drawn to drawing since her childhood, but sees herself as a parallel person of this world, an android from the sphere of the third art like drawing and painting, to transport you to her artist galaxy.
Who is she?
A mysterious person from an artistic cultural labyrinth, dressed as an angel in the colors of Armageddon, who lives in the real world but tells the story of an unknown parallel world, discovered by Isa. She tells in her paintings the life of the virtual world of the andromeda planet.
In our universe, galaxies grow larger as they devour dwarf constellations that pass nearby.
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the closest and largest neighbor to our Milky Way.
Why does Isa think she is an alien on earth and talk about another galaxy as her world?
The work of an artist is determined less by the accidents of existence than carried entirely by radical choices coming from the depths of being. Isa Sator has followed a strange journey for those who believe that art can be learned in schools.
Accepting being yourself is feeling strong enough to dare to say, “I’m from Andromeda, I’m not from here. This distancing from the obvious belonging to this strange and violent humanity is the secret heart of Isa Sator’s work.
Things have happened in our small local group of galaxies, a cluster of about fifty stars currently dominated by Andromeda and the Milky Way where we currently live. The landscape continues to evolve. It will indeed be very different in three to four billion years, when the two main spiral galaxies have merged, giving birth to Androlactea.
Now I understand why the artist sees herself as an alien in a modern world, why she wants to become a galaxy in today’s art and characterize herself as an android who devours the art world through her mind to be.
The transhumance of colors mixed with the shadow of Armageddon by the brush of Isa Sator, exposes to the light the strength and courage she shows to face every moment and obstacle in the world of artists, even if sometimes its doors were wide open, she also experienced certain moments of discouragement.
But for her each test helped her discover the reality of the artistic world, from where she even managed to teleport for seven years to the city of art and civilization of gratitude, New York, where she saw that the image of an artist was born abroad and not in their own territory.
This is how her reality of art was born after years of drawing, from which Isa got drunk (thanks to the water from her brushes that she drank!) By managing to obtain results.
She began learning painting at the Cultural Center of La Guerche de Bretagne from 1977 to 1980. After studying law in Paris, she became a lawyer at the Paris bar, before devoting herself entirely to her activity as an artist.
She continued her apprenticeship in drawing and sketching at the Center d’Art de Nouméa in New Caledonia from 1996 to 2005 and joined Michel Rocton’s sculpture studio in the same city from 1998 to 2004.
It is in Noumea that she discovers through a magical place, the island of pines, the harmonic and saving power of nature and colors. Between 1998 and 2005, the year she left for New York, she therefore, in this country of abundant nature that is New Caledonia, learning about freedom and discovering the emotional power of colors.
Courses in sculpture, airbrushing, and finally painting, she learns from masters, who one after the other understand that the best they can bring her is to support her in her quest, as her personality is so strong. already asserted. In fact, she trains herself under the watchful eye of friendly guides.
In Isa Sator’s paintings, color is both the vector and the path of her initiatory journey, the one that leads her to the discovery and implementation of her possibilities as well as to the affirmation of her inner being.
