Isaac Job.
At 26 years old, Isaac has roots in the Caribbean and Colombia but grew up in the Netherlands. His multicultural background plays a significant role in his artistic approach, allowing him to blend influences from different traditions, histories, and artistic movements.
During the COVID-19 pandemic he decided to pick up a brush and start painting. What started as a personal exploration quickly evolved into a passion for creating timeless pieces that bridge cultures and emotions. Through extensive self-study, he progressed from painting on sneakers to customizing designer items, eventually transitioning to canvas paintings and sculptural designs.
Isaac Job’s inspiration derives from observing different cultures and finding common ground within their differences—a universal narrative that connects humanity. He believes that
art has the power to transcend language and geography, offering people a moment of reflection and connection, no matter where they come from.
Isaac’s vast growing oeuvre and artistic vision all comes together in his ‘Nági Collection’. The word “Nági” itself means the calmness of a tranquil sea without wind and waves. The name is an invitation to slow down during the hectic rhythm of life. It reminds us that, amidst the chaos, we should pause, return to ourselves, and embrace our history. It symbolizes an oasis of tranquillity amidst the turmoil and aims to convey the message of paying attention to the unique stories that each of us carries. In the world we live in, where hustle and bustle often prevail, Isaac Job encourages listening, understanding, and acknowledging the value of each individual and their unique journey. Because, like the sea without wind and waves, true calmness can only be found when we take the time to pause and listen to the stories unfolding before us. Isaac’s Nági Collection is all about storytelling and evoking emotions and visual experiences through sculptures and paintings.
Nági Collective door Isaac Job
Het woord “Nági” betekent de kalmte van een stille zee, zonder wind en golven. De naam is een uitnodiging om te vertragen te midden van het hectische ritme van het leven. Het herinnert ons eraan dat we, temidden van de chaos, even stil mogen staan, terugkeren naar onszelf en onze geschiedenis omarmen. Het symboliseert een oase van rust in de onrust.
Middels zijn Nági Collection wil Isaac Job de boodschap uitdragen dat we aandacht mogen schenken aan de unieke verhalen die ieder van ons met zich meedraagt. In de wereld waarin we leven, waar drukte en haast vaak de boventoon voeren, moedigen we aan tot luisteren, begrijpen en het erkennen van de waarde van ieder individu en diens unieke reis. Want, net als de zee zonder wind en golven, vinden we ware rust pas wanneer we de tijd nemen om stil te staan en te luisteren naar de verhalen die zich voor onze ogen ontvouwen.
