El año que comienza
Hàng Mã · Tết · Hanoi
These paintings draw on memories of Hàng Mã, in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, a street that, with the arrival of Tết — the Vietnamese New Year — is transformed by colours, decorations and symbols of good wishes. Among them are figures of the animal that represents each new lunar year.
I did not wish to reproduce the market literally. Its shapes, colours and objects are blurred until they become smudges, gestures and memories of the journey. The words Hàng Mã, Tết and the coordinates discreetly incorporated into the painting situate that memory in a real place.
The Year Ahead thus speaks of travel, memory and renewal: of that moment when a culture symbolically prepares to leave one year behind and welcome the next.

Professionally, she has been working in the art world, first with the family business of artistic porcelain and later focused on the world of interior design and painting.

WORK
Isabel Momparler’s work explores the complex relationship between space, material, and visual perception, creating artworks that invite viewers into a reflective and immersive experience. Her practice is characterized by a minimalist and poetic aesthetic, where careful attention to color, texture, and light transforms both natural and industrial materials into refined forms that evoke emotion and contemplation.
Central to her art is an exploration of time and space: her works encourage the audience to slow down and engage with each piece thoughtfully, discovering meaning through their own perception. She often plays with notions of presence and absence, shadow and light, creating subtle visual dialogues that resonate with both the intellect and the senses.
Momparler’s pieces do not aim to replicate reality; rather, they construct poetic and meditative spaces, functioning as visual ecosystems in which viewers participate actively, finding personal significance in the interplay of form, material, and light. Through this approach, her art transcends mere representation, offering an experience that is simultaneously contemplative, emotional, and intellectually engaging.
