Twins with Red Coat Framed archival pigment image on canvas, intervened with hand-applied paint, ink and intentionally scratched by the artist
This one of a kind intervened artworks produced in 2009 and 2010 marks Isaza's artistic shift from traditional fashion photography into fine art. It was at this time that Isaza began to explore beyond the camera lens through the process of applying physical interventions onto his printed images - using paint, crayon, tape, graphite and other such unconventional materials. This process gave him an avenue to explore photography to a larger developed scale, giving space for his female subjects to be depicted with more of a sense of grandeur.
In this evocative artwork, two elongated figures stand in surreal juxtaposition, with exaggeratedly slender necks and voluminous hair merging into a cloudy abyss. The left figure is nude, embodying vulnerability and raw beauty, while the right figure, cloaked in a dark, mysterious garment, offers a stark contrast. The garments and skin tones of the figures reveal the artist's interest in exploring themes of duality and identity. Rich splashes of color, including deep blues and vibrant purples, cascade across the canvas, adding dynamic movement and breaking the symmetry of the scene. Fine, intricate lines draw subtle geometric patterns, hinting at the complexity and structure underlying human relationships. This masterpiece captivates with its balance of fragility and strength, inviting viewers to ponder the delicate interplay between exposure and concealment.

Presentation
Efren Isaza, one of Colombia’s most influential fashion photographers, initially studied fashion design. He united his interest in fashion with one of his earliest passions: photography. Graceful female figures lounge in fashionable poses. Paper costumes that seem borrowed from Oskar Schlemmer’s triadic ballet make the ballerinas look like marionettes. Their dislocation recalls the puppets Hans Bellmer featured in his surreal photographic experiments. Frida Kahlo’s face with her dark, furrowed eyebrows, peers at the viewer out of different scenes; her hair is knotted artfully on her head. The allusions evoked in the imaginative creations of Colombian Fashion photographer Isaza are diverse: he cites and alienates an arsenal of styles before melding them into new compositions OF ONE OF A KIND LIMITED EDITION ARTWORK. It might be a certain scene, a poem, a petal of a flower, or the idea of a person that inspires a new work. His passion for breaking the boundaries of traditional fashion photography is palpable in each of Isaza’s unique works. He is less concerned with fashion than the image, the play of contrasts and the magic and the emotions sometimes saturnine, sometimes buoyant, sometimes surreal, and yet always beguiling that the image transports.
