The revealed man
Isabelle Lebret's paintings testify to the richness of the male body.
They praise her diversity and sensuality, as well as her feelings and humanity.
Isn't the body primarily the vessel of a soul?

Modernity and classical heritage
The figurative work is built with the posing of models.
A studied composition (or even an unusual framing) and a proven technique contribute to the development of the painting.
Oil is applied in a succession of increasingly dense and precise layers. It allows for subtle blending and transitions from shadow to light, working with a brush in the wet and semi-wet stages.

The geography of bodies reveals itself in monochrome; blue elevates it.
Using a single color in chiaroscuro and a subdued background highlights the reliefs of these 'body-landscapes.'
The unreal prism of the blue color creates a sense of distance from the subject, while emanating its soothing brightness.

Beauty in masculinity
Isabelle Lebret's paintings whisper to us the poetry and volupté of the living. They invite contemplation of a gentle and desirable masculinity.
