Isabella Rebollo Colón is a Puerto Rican scenic designer who channels her love and appreciation for her culture to create memorable spaces and experiences. Her work draws profound inspiration from her heritage, often referencing Puerto Rican architecture and the vibrant colors and textures of her homeland.

Her designs embody the unique experience of living on an incredibly beautiful island - a country plagued by corruption, violence, and neglect, yet simultaneously brimming with love and community. This great paradox of Puerto Rican culture is at the heart of her artistic vision. These contradictions frequently take center stage in her work, manifesting both conceptually and visually.

Conceptual designs like "Camino Real" or "Iphigenia Crash Land Falls on the Neon Shell That Was Once Her Heart" serve as prime examples of Isabella's distinctive style. While her work often showcases the precious, colorful, and joyful aspects of Puerto Rico, it doesn't shy away from referencing the destruction and decay that the island constantly endures, at the hands of natural disasters, the actions of private companies, and the relentless gentrification that continues to engulf Puerto Rican cities.

All these inspirations coalesce to create Isabella's passionate artistic style. Her work utilizes her unique life experience, to present the juxtaposition of beauty and struggle, tradition and modernity, joined to create a visual language that speaks volumes about her homeland's rich cultural heritage and ongoing challenges.
