Isabelle Défayes was born in Switzerland and after training at the Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne, she worked for several years in the hotel business and then for the International Committee of the Red Cross and Médecins sans Frontières. Since 2002 she has devoted a large part of her time to painting and exhibited her work.
The space of her works is created first of all by horizontal bands, geometrical shapes or collages and then by a superimposition of colours until a balance is reached. Some of herworks have no title so viewers are free to imagine their own universe.
In recent paintings, the shapes represent landscapes, an inspiration of the places where people live, during hikes and travels.
