Isabel Rodriguez Ramos (1997) is an Italian-Cuban artist and researcher who works across sculpture, the visual arts, performance and participatory practices.
Her research centers on regenerative earthworks: site-responsive sculptural interventions created with earth, biomaterials, and locally sourced natural elements. Through these works, she investigates the relationships between body, landscape, ecological memory, and collective belonging, developing artistic processes that emerge from direct engagement with place and community.
Drawing on vernacular knowledge, environmental art, and experimental material research, she creates sculptures and installations that explore cycles of matter and transformation. Her work addresses themes of solastalgia, new rituals, and the capacity of collective creation to foster renewed connections between people and ecosystems.
In 2020, she co-founded Naturalmentecorpo, exploring the intersection of sculpture, performance and collective practices. Since 2021, she has collaborated with sound artist Rossana De Pace through Gea collective, developing works that intertwine tactile and sonic dimensions. She also collaborates with architect Valentina Minoletti through Arthitecture, an interdisciplinary project operating at the intersection of art, architecture and territorial regeneration.
In 2025, she received the Public Vote Award at the New European Bauhaus Prizes (Rising Stars – Reconnecting with Nature) for the project Therapeutic Sculpture.
