The artist Isabelle

A soft and sensitive palette in search of a poetic reality…

Isabelle Delannoy is a French painter who graduated from the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers in 1995 and trained in oil painting techniques under the painters Philippe Lejeune, founder of the École d’Étampes, and Pascal Vinardel, in his painting studio at the École nationale supérieure des arts et décoratifs (ENSAD).

Rooted in figurative art, Isabelle Delannoy’s works celebrate the beauty of Nature and Life through the delicate and warm harmonies of oil painting. Passionate about colors and materials, the artist expresses, through her series of paintings—true “inner poems”—the profound joy of the act of painting, inviting the viewer into a reality that is both sensitive and poetic.

Since 2011, the artist has been a fixture at the famous Paris Saint-Ouen International Art and Antiques Market, where her work is recognized and purchased not only by French and international collectors and art lovers but also by interior designers, for whom she creates commissioned pieces.

In 2018, she was invited to China for a one-and-a-half-month artist residency, following which her works were acquired by the Shangjin International Art Center in Yunxi, Hubei, China.

In 2019, Isabelle Delannoy received the i-CAC certification, which sets a quality standard for art professionals and the discerning public.

In 2021, Isabelle Delannoy permanently established her studio in Les Sables-d’Olonne.

Her works are on permanent display and available for purchase at the Paris Saint-Ouen International Art and Antiques Market, where she has successfully built up her client base. Her works are included in numerous private and public collections in France and abroad.
