As the title, “First Oeuvre”, denotes, this show is comprised of works produced between 2009 and 2010, when Isaza first embarked on the creative process that would lead him away from his strict fashion photography formation and bring him into the fine art world.

 

The works in this show all pertain to a private collection and are the works that mark his mentorship under Juan Carlos Arcila Duque, a prominent figure in Miami’s photography scene, and collectors and connoisseurs Andy Cowan and Gert Elfering. It was at this time that Isaza explores beyond his lens and began to apply pain, crayon, tape, graphite and other such unconventional materials to his printed images. This allowed him to take his photographs to a larger scale and creating his female figures to have a better sense of grandeur.
