Isabel León conceives artistic creation as an act closely linked to life, so that her works need to be sincere and be connected to her personal experiences and everyday life. She is interested in the little things, the seemingly insignificant; driving force and inspiration for her work, often linked to memory and memories, also austere in terms of technical and material needs. She is interested in performance art because its interaction with the public and how it contributes for the work to exist, making them the protagonist of her performances. She likes to play, challenges, absurdity and nonsense, causing situations or experiences that push her to dilate personal boundaries.

Her passion for performance art motivate her to organize and promote performance art´s practice, co-organizing the project EXCHANGE Live Art with artist Ana Matey, investigating on communication, taking action art as a basis of this research, making residences, laboratories and art meetings. Currently, this learning is related to the interest in investigating the relationship between performance art and other disciplines, both artistic and from the fields of science or the humanities, running her work to shared experiences with professionals from different areas as well as artists, developing collaborative works, “exchanges” or laboratories, caring out together wealthy projects, experiences that offers her the opportunity to experiment, grow and learn.

She combines her artistic and management activity with teaching, conducting workshops in different contexts and institutions, such us art centers, universities and independent spaces.
