Spray paint and acrylic mural
Pippi + Pleiadian Art Exhibition, Spårvägsmuséet, Stockholm 2017
Built directly on the wall. A woman surrounded by movement, light, shifting colour, who stays still within it.
The eyes were always the starting idea. I worked to build up the surroudings but knew that would be the lifting point. Layer by layer with spray paint, warm gold pushing through cool blue and deep shadow. The wall and the paint. She looks out from the middle of all that energy, grounded and clear-eyed. That was the intention from the beginning.
This mural was created for Dynamitklubben, Stockholm, in 2018. Painted in spray paint and acrylic directly onto the wall, it depicts a woman’s face rendered in a vivid, artificial color palette. Around her, the world moves. She does not.
In a space built around music, movement and spectacle — a club known for its eclectic programming spanning alternative genres and subcultures — the face holds its ground. Still. Unhurried. An anchor point. Not decoration, but presence — painted into the architecture itself.
This mural marked an early and formative step in Isabelle’s practice of working at scale: bringing the same emotional depth and expressive language from canvas to wall, and creating something immersive that becomes inseparable from the space it inhabits.
