" Each painting invites us to slow down, breathe, and simply be."

The Relax series captures quiet moments of rest and surrender—where the body unwinds and the mind steps away from the noise. Reclining, seated, reflective—the figures appear caught in a gentle pause.

Isabel Mahe uses natural poses, soft textures, and soothing palettes to express ease and release.

Trout Quintet

" Music !
Schubert's Trout.
Quintet in A major. String instruments: Violin, viola, cello, double bass... and an imaginary piano."

  • Oil painting on linen canvas stretched on a frame. 92x73 cm - 2023.

La Maja Desnuda

" Two eras collide. A confrontation between Goya's work and my model, the modern woman. The contrast is evident at all levels: colors, shapes, postures.
The colorful fabric of the modern furniture contrasts with the nuanced whites of the beautiful curtains of yesteryear.
The "maja desnuda", enveloped in a soft light, considers us with an engaging gaze while the silhouette with marked shadows stretched out on the orange sofa turns its back on us, as if insensitive to our appreciation."

  • Oil painting on hardboard - 115x51,5 cm - 2023.

Maladie d'Amour

" Love sickness.
Despite the sun, despite the light that floods the room, days follow nights, but time has stopped its course and nothing remains.
A strong contrast between the bright colors in a luminous space, and the melancholy state of mind of the young lady."

  • Oil painting on MDF - 78x61 cm - 2023

La Vie en Rose

In Search of Lost Time

" Quietude, emotional richness of moments of solitude. Warm shades and a velvety texture. A figure immersed in her inner world, symbolizing the search for self through reflection and reading. My work is a hymn to contemplation and introspection, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the quiet beauty and complexity of emotional states."
