Isabelle Morin

Isabelle Morin studied fine arts at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Lyon, within the Art department. In 1993, she founded the Koronin private higher education institution, which was officialized as a preparatory and initial training course by decision of the French Ministry of Education and national student unions. She taught life drawing from live models there for fifteen years, while co-leading easel painting copy workshops at the Musée Jacquemart-André alongside Philippe Morin from 2012 to 2014. In 2013, she exhibited her work at the Montserrat Gallery in Chelsea, Manhattan (New York).

Now fully devoted to her artistic research, Isabelle Morin explores through contemplation and sketching the emotional resonance and state of the model in all its forms.

Her stays by the sea and an invitation to paint Étretat marked a major turning point in her practice: a contemplative style shifting toward bolder, abstract accents. Playing with scale and formats, the artist explores intricate details just as eagerly as wide vistas. Her canvases reflect a dreamy wanderlust through these surroundings, where color and movement serve as the guiding forces of the composition.

Isabelle Morin — Fishing Hut at Dusk

In Isabelle Morin’s paintings, light seems to breathe through the paper itself.
The fishing hut she portrays here, a delicate silhouette between sky and sea, becomes an anchor point in the fleeting. Around it, reflections, nets, and water merge into a single, gentle breath.
She does not describe the landscape — she listens to it.

Her painting is an art of silence and suspended time, where each transparency, each trace of water or pigment reveals a quiet emotion.
Whatever her subject, she paints that moment when light softly fades, and the world, just before vanishing, seems to look back at us one last time.
