About
Izabella Frick (b.1995) is a Zurich-based figurative painter interested in moments that resist fixed meaning. Her paintings explore quiet, ambiguous states, leaving space for observation and interpretation.
Working primarily in oil, she builds thin, layered surfaces in which light, colour, and gesture remain visible. Her process is intuitive and grounded in both observation and feeling. Rather than working towards a fully resolved image, she allows uncertainty and vulnerability to remain part of the painting.
Restraint is central to her practice. By avoiding excessive detail or overworking, she aims to preserve a sense of immediacy. Her paintings seek a balance between presence and openness, inviting the viewer to spend time with the image rather than offering a fixed interpretation.
