At first what strikes in ISA-L. painting is the energy and the force which emits forms and colors thrown on the canvas.

Dripping  : technique used mainly by Jackson POLLOCK consisting in dipping a paintbrush (or any other utensil) and letting drip the paint on the canvas placed on the floor.

The artist can also make holes in the jar of color, walk above the canvas letting the content drip according to movements which determine the shape of arabesques.

ISA-L. personalizes this process by not only letting the paint drip but by throwing more or less energetically by gestures in the mastered amplitude and by adding to painting various materials.

This way of painting can give in priori the impression that everybody could make the same thing. It is enough to try to be convinced of the opposite.

The abstract work arouses even today negative reactions because it does not deliver spontaneously a meaning.

Unlike the figurative art, the spectator has to make an effort to find a sense of reading, a representation of what the artist wanted to show.
