About

Born in Eindhoven, in the south of the Netherlands, Lotte Isbouts is a self-taught, abstract artist now living and working in Deurne. As a young girl growing up in the dutch outside area, Lotte was inspired by the colors and the natural beauty of the grasslands, forest and amazing clouds. Rainfall was frequent, didn’t mind her at all but inspired her to be outside in the elements with her horses. 

Throughout her school years, Lotte gained recognition by her teacher with art and sports. In fact, her high school art teacher was so impressed with Lotte’s work that he encouraged her to advance her studies in art after high school. On the other hand her sports career was leading to a national path. Lotte, growing up in an entrepreneurial family, decided to pursue a financially stable path and went to Nijenrode Business University. During her second year she was asked to join an organization to train international showjumpers for the USA. Lotte became a professional showjumper and an experienced psychologist in the arena of mental health and high performance. 
Her creativity and art was always there and never left her path. She began selling her work privately through word of mouth to friends and collectors. She sold work to Dubai and Los Angelos and was invited for an exposition in Milan and Paris. She continues to sell to a growing list of private clients and, in addition, her works have been used to help stage properties in Amsterdam’s demanding real estate market.

Lotte’s philosophy of art is simple; she thrives on abstract as it allows her carefree spirit the freedom to create acting on impulse, driven by instinct. She desires to create visceral works that engage her viewer, triggering a sensory response and strong emotion within them. She aims to create artworks, that come to life, almost becoming their own life form, while pleasuring the eye and hinting at a world that lies deep beyond the surface of her paintings.

Lotte needs space, and creates mostly large abstract paintings. She paints bold, with active brush strokes and captures a bright palet, layer upon layer, with full focus for detail. She sometimes adds pumice, sand or other raw material to literally feel the environment of where she gets her inspiration from. 

It is through painting that Lotte shares her soul and her own authentic discovery with the world. 
Her only intrusion is the title.
