Isabel Mancebo Balda was born in Pamplona in 1971. For as long as she can remember, she has painted, taken photos, created collages, restored but above all drawn: endlessly and practically obsessively. She currently lives in Pasaia, Gipuzkoa, after graduating in Fine Art from the University of the Basque Country and having researched and lived in loads of places. She claims that drawing is a major art, not just a transition tool. She combines inks with felt tip pens, papers, dry leaves, wood... Her work is meticulous and elaborate, full of her sense of humour. She tries to make an impact on her audience using outline, shape and image. Following her previous exhibition entitled Allá: Ciudades y gentes, this new edition will introduce us to some peculiar, fun and slightly sinister beings. Divine Creatures comprises a book of beasts inspired by fashion and cinema and whisks us away to a parallel world with animals, beasts and not so beastly beasts. You are invited to enjoy the characters included in the book Divine Creatures that appear in this edition of the San Sebastian Horror and Fantasy Film Festival.
