Isabel Diaz (b. 1943) - Flow State
Est: ₱500,000 - ₱650,000
Flow State signed (lower right) dated 2021 oil on canvas 48" x 48" (122 cm x 122 cm) PROVENANCE: Galleria Duemilla, Inc Celebrated for her expressive and magnificent depiction of floras, New York-based artist Isabel Diaz manages to translate the delicate flowers into a minimalist and poignant work, made even more impressive by the sheer size of the canvas she often uses. "Her distinct ability to observe life's complexity with unobstructed clarity is reflected in the simultaneous depth and simplicity of her work," says her brief artist biography on her website. Indeed, like many of her works, her 1976 Flow State captures life’s sublime beauty and her fleeting charms. With a closeup look at these various flowers, plucked separately but arranged tightly as though a menagerie of bouquets were packed randomly together, this multi-layered piece evokes the vibrancy and brevity of life, the still-blooming flowers a tangible reminder of the sands of time slipping through, delicate and fragile but still lovely. Private in life and career, Diaz is famously tight-lipped about the meanings of her works, telling Philippine Tattler, "When I paint a flower, it's just a flower. It's not like what people say about O'Keeffe. When she painted them, they say it symbolized something else." However, the vivacity he paints these still-life paintings allows for a deeply personal interpretation of the piece, evoking a unique emotional response from one viewer to another. (Hannah Valiente)

Isabel Diaz (b. 1943)
Est: ₱300,000 - ₱390,000
Untitled signed (lower right) dated 2006 sketch on arch paper 37" x 48" (94 cm x 122 cm) PROVENANCE: Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner Famous artists such as Claude Monet and Georgia O’Keeffe who were enamored with the beauty and rich hues of flowers might have been cast with the same spell as Isabel Diaz, who has focused on the pelated-plants as a subject in her still-life paintings. A visual splendor that invites its beholder to contemplate on nature’s wonders, her canvas abloom with vivid colors and grand forms, almost crowded like massive bouquets, giving the impression of abundance and prosperity. For the lot at hand, however, Isabel’s brilliant palette is absent, letting our eyes linger on her deft sketch instead. This particular piece proves that flowers are admired not only for their beauty but also for their environmental significance and aesthetic symbolism. Aside from flowers, Isabel also paints palms and portraits. The Philippines Tatler has called her “word-class” as an artist, but she remains humble nevertheless. "I usually don't want to talk, even about myself," admits Isabel. Her first solo show was in New York, 1972, which was followed by several exhibits at prestigious art galleries in the city – Bergdorf Goodman, Zoltan Gallery, and Bonwit Teller. (P.I.R.)

Isabel Diaz (b. 1943)
Est: ₱800,000 - ₱1,040,000
Untitled signed (lower right) oil on canvas 68" x 107" (173 cm x 272 cm) PROVENANCE: Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner The most coveted works of Filipino-born and New York-based artist, Isabel Diaz, are her majestic and larger-than-life floral still life paintings. Her ability to capture the highly expressive facet of the sublime beauty of flowers evokes the inherent beauty of life's brevity. Her brief artist's profile on her website writes: "Her distinct ability to observe life's complexity with unobstructed clarity is reflected in the simultaneous depth and simplicity of her work." True enough, Diaz conveys a manifold of expressions and ideas, emphasizing the melodic and harmonious string that connects brevity, poignancy, delicacy, and beauty, qualities all associated with living, being, and existing. In an interview with Philippine Tatler, Diaz says: "When I paint a flower, it's just a flower. It's not like what people say about O'Keeffe. When she painted them, they say it symbolized something else." Notwithstanding Diaz's statement, her flowers' exquisite and almost diaphanous character induces emotions and thoughts that transcend her medium. In this monumental work, Diaz presents an array of flowers, the most prominent of which are hibiscuses (gumamela) and carnations. Diaz's employment of vivid colors suggests the vibrancy and energy of life, and the way she employs delicate realism in her subjects signify vulnerability and transience. How Diaz injects gracefulness into vividness bridges the gap between melancholia and the seemingly endless search for life's purpose and limit, reminding us that life, being blissfully ephemeral, is ever-changing and headed towards an eventual denouement. Ephemerality is an inescapable labyrinth—incessant and often contradictory. It reminds us to spend time with everyone and everything we value and cherish, making us realize our fullest potential and establishing progress before our ultimate inevitable quietus. (A.M.)

Isabel Diaz (b. 1943) Untitled
Est: ₱120,000 - ₱156,000
Untitled signed (lower left) oil on canvas 25" x 51" (64 cm x 130 cm) The still-life pieces of Isabel Diaz are minimalist as well as expressive. All are always vivid and vibrant. Her works are divine, light and almost transparent, as if done in watercolor. Although she loves the effect of the said medium, Diaz prefers the weight of oil, her specialized medium, for it is softer but more determined. As a result, a sense of complexity and clarity is reflected in her oil compositions. Among her oeuvres, she is most memorable for her paintings of flowers. Her canvas is abloom with various flora, a view that allures an audience to contemplate nature’s beauty. A lavish attention to detail is considered by the artist, but the background is kept to a minimum, which is a primary characteristic of her artistry. They are rendered with warmth through colors, subtle, multi-layered shading, and striking texture. The flowers painted by Diaz are not a bouquet of death and darkness but of elegance and exuberance. And, their petals are in a tight embrace, crowded within the canvas, extending the idea of bountifulness. (P.I.R.)

Isabel Diaz (b. 1943) Portrait of Barbara Gonzalez
Est: ₱100,000 - ₱130,000
Portrait of Barbara Gonzalez signed (lower right) oil on canvas 581/2"x171/2"(149cmx44cm) This piece is among the two portraits by Filipino artist Isabel Diaz of Barbara Gonzalez. According to Gonzalez herself, this particular portrait of her seemingly imparts on her visage a youthful and almost adolescent look, despite the fact that “I was already approaching 30” Such an effect is achieved by Isabel Diaz through her characteristic and unique artistic practice that combines a bright palette and an free-flowing brush that imparts a liberating feeling.

Isabel Diaz (b. 1943) Portrait of Barbara Gonzalez
Est: ₱40,000 - ₱52,000
Portrait of Barbara Gonzalez signed (lower center) oil on canvas 20" x 20" (51 cm x 51 cm) The Girl at the Window, as Barbara Gonzales called it, is a portrait that speaks of her past relationship. Looking back, she remembers it was painted around the time “when the relationship was tiptoeing from blissful to mysterious.” A woman approaching her thirties was Barbara in this portrait, and she felt deeply with the muse in the canvas. The girl at the window holds a bouquet of flowers, contemplating whether to keep or throw it. A scenario that was all too familiar to Barbara. Nevertheless, Barbara is very fond of this oil piece by Isabel Diaz, the elder sister of Gloria Diaz. The Filipino artist, based in New York, is celebrated for her portraits of popular personalities and vibrant flower paintings. (P.I.R.)

Isabel Diaz (b. 1943) Bouquet of Flowers
Est: ₱400,000 - ₱520,000
Bouquet of Flowers signed (lower left) oil on canvas 52" x 72" (132 cm x 183 cm) Isabel Diaz is a Filipino-born and New York-based artist who specializes in oil on canvas paintings. She is known for her virtuosity and ability to simplify her subjects to their innate core and reinterpret them in a minimalist yet expressive style. Speaking of her artworks, she said: “I usually don’t want to talk – even about myself... I paint every day, for commissioned works. I want people to own and live with them.” The art of Diaz displays a penchant for a world filled with the elegance and gracefulness of still life. Through her evocative renditions of three- dimensional figures, Diaz transfigures a pure and simple still life painting into a mystifying opus. The harmonious coalescing of the subject and its colors always exhibits a balanced composition. She employs vivid hues into the canvas, making this particular piece exude a high degree of glamor and enchantment. With an implied luminosity, the realism employed by Diaz is characterized by a sophisticated and high-browed quality–one that showcases her artistic prowess, as evident also in her distinct draftsmanship. Diaz’s realistic depiction of flowers emanates a nostalgic experience, hinting at the transient essence of things. (A.M.)

Isabel Diaz (b. 1943) Still Life signed (lower right) oil on canvas 46” x 59 1/2” (117 cm x 151 cm) Provenance: Private Collection, Manila WRITE UP: Distancing herself from the new and avant-garde in art, Isabel Diaz dwelled in a visual world of flowers and the high life with its accoutrements and conviviality. With her expressive renderings of dynamic three-dimensional forms, Diaz transforms a simple still-life sceneinto a poignant, enigmatic narrative. She never overworks her paintings yet the eternally delicate collision of drawing and color is always balanced in her works. The subject is rendered in bright neutral colors, and with the absence of fine details, as though seen through a translucent filter. It is figurative, but it is not quite Realism. The elegant milieu Isabel Diaz portrayed is the one in which she lived. She stayed true to a time-proven approach to the art and craft of painting, as well as elegant, oldfashioned notions of the life of people of leisure. Her works emanate a soft and effortless allure that stems from her ardent passion for her craft.

Also fond of oversized canvases, Diaz has made her still-life paintings eyecatching and poetic in composition and color. Estimate in USD $10000-$13000
