Isabel Samaras: Painter of Enigmatic Stories

Born in New York, Isabel Samaras’ a painter/illustrator with a difference: she’s an ‘enigmatic storyteller who uses paint instead of words’. Her paintings submerge you into a multi-layered world: a world that echos forgotten parables from bygone eras using characters that have their own (modern) mythologies. You’ll find characters from 70s sitcoms, in particular from popular TV shows like “The Avengers,” “The Addams Family,” “Star Trek,” “Bewitched,” “Gilligan’s Island,” “I Dream of Jeannie,” “The Munsters” and “The Six Million Dollar Man.” These characters (and more) are re-cast with pop culture icons and classic works of fine art for a contemporary spin. Beyond television and the master paintings, Isabel pulls influences from horror movies, Las Vegas lifestyles, and Mexican calendar art into her projects. LINK
