Isabel Creixell
was born in Mexico City, of Spanish parents.
For over 40 years she has specialized in a wide range of
handmade arts and crafts and has taken classes from several artists and craftsmen in Mexico and USA.
During the first 30 years and as a result of her
special interest in the history and workmanship of ancient icons from Grece and Russia, she developed her own technique of icon painting and metalworking. Her work was pioneering and innovative,
prompting a flow of artists now dedicated to this type of art.
The work of Isabel Creixell encompasses more than 1,600
icons which have been presented with great success in exhibitions in the USA, Mexico, Central and South America and Europe, receiving several awards and honors.
She wrote a book about the history of the icons and her own
experiences and also gives lectures and teaches her techniques of iconography.
