Work

Isotta Page (b. 1996) creates contemporary marble sculptures that explore ecological and geological themes. Her choice of material is connected to her upbringing in Rome, where she was surrounded by Classical, Renaissance, and Baroque art. Her technique combines traditional craftsmanship with industrial fabrication. Central to Isotta’s process is the intuitive transformation of her mental drawings into 3D sculptural configurations. She carves marble as she would draw on paper, subverting traditional hierarchies and blending highly finished elements with raw, organic forms.

Isotta’s current research focuses on sculpting marble—an ancient practice—through a contemporary Anthropogenic ecological lens. Her interest lies in how care and craft can transform a seemingly inert rock into a totem of geologic resilience and a gateway for reflecting on geologic time.

Isotta earned her Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture and Contemporary Art History from the University of Edinburgh's Edinburgh College of Art in 2020. She is currently working on her first public sculpture commission and exhibiting her work in a group show in Hudson, NY. In 2022, Isotta created a ten-piece large-scale sculpture garden for a private client in Umbria. Her sculptures are also in private collections in Paris, London, Rome, and Los Angeles. Isotta is currently based between Rome and Fara Sabina, where she has her studio. 

Isotta also hosts Art Is...a podcast for artists, she started the show in April 2021 as a response to the monumental shifts that emerging artists faced in the wake of COVID-19.

    2025, Carrara marble and vinyl sticker, 29 x 38 x 14cm (both)

    Installed at Sophie-Charlotte-Platz metro station in Berlin, this site-specific work features two hand-carved Carrara marble spirals and a vinyl decal of a triangle-shaped marble block. Together, they form a minimal, face-like composition that engages with pareidolia, the human tendency to perceive faces in inanimate objects.

    From a distance, the elements appear unified; up close, the illusion unravels. Solid marble contrasts with the flatness of the vinyl, evoking a tension between permanence and surface, ancient material and modern artifice.

    Curated by Muriel McIntyre, the exhibition was part of an initiative to place art in public and unexpected spaces. The metro setting encourages brief yet meaningful encounters, offering a moment of contemplation within everyday routines.

    This is the second work in an ongoing series exploring the universal spiral motif. The first iteration is permanently installed in Lugnola, Italy.
